Is there a difference between an arrest and a conviction?
Yes there is a difference. Added: An arrest is merely an accusation, and not even a formal accusation at that. The indictment or information (or whatever the charging instrument is, which varies by jurisdiction) is the formal accusation, and only after the formal accusation is made can a conviction be obtained. A person cannot be convicted unless it is found that they are guilty of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. An arrest can be made just on probable cause, which is a far lesser standard than beyond a reasonable doubt.
Can their be a disposition without an arrest?
Yes, a disposition can occur without an arrest. For example, a case may be resolved through a citation, summons, or a plea agreement without formal arrest. Additionally, legal proceedings can result in a disposition through dismissal, acquittal, or other outcomes that do not involve an arrest.
