Countries make extradition treaties with other countries in order to try and prevent criminals from escaping prosecution for their crimes. Say a man kills three people in the United States then flees to Mexico and is identified by the Mexican police. The man has not broken any Mexican laws, and would therefore be freed, unless he is extradited back to the U.S. to face his murder charges.
