Normally a peace officer (cop) arrests an individual. Within a short period of time, he or she is taken before a judge. Usually, but depending on the local law, the judge decides if the person will go to jail, be placed under house arrest, be released on bond, or be released, or if some other action will be taken. After an individual is convicted, a judge may make house arrest part of the sentence or due to prison overcrouding the department of corrections may use house arrest as part of or all of prison time.

Can someone be placed under house arrest without being aware of committing a crime or notified of committing one?

Not in the United States. First you have to be charged, which at that point, you obviously know you are being charged. Then, arraigned, where you plead and request bail, which at that point, they may put you under house arrest. But my point is, you have to be charged and then arraigned to be placed under house arrest, so there is no way you would not know of this.
