A person who has committed a crime is called a perpetrator (or "perp" as on TV police dramas). If the person is not actually caught in the act or has not been convicted (or has taken a plea deal), he's a suspect. If he's on trial, he's the defendant. If the judge's gavel has fallen and he's guilty, he's a convict or (perhaps) a felon.
A person who commits a crime is usually called a criminal or offender. If the person has committed multiple crimes, the person is known as a recidivist. If not yet convicted, the person is called a suspect.now lets poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop

∙ 10y agoIt depends on where in the process he is identified. At first he is the accused. After arrest and during trial, he is the defendant. If he is convicted, he is the convicted. Upon incarceration he is the offender or inmate, felon, parolee, and eventually rehabilitated citizen.
