| Phrase | to arrest |
| Text | The verb "to arrest," in this podcast, means for the police to take someone to a police station because they think he or she has done something that breaks a law: "Wendy was arrested during the demonstration, but she was released within a few hours because she hadn't done anything wrong." The phrase "house arrest" refers to the limitations placed on a person who stays in his or her home instead of a jail, but is not allowed to leave: "How do law enforcement officers monitor people who are on house arrest?" Finally, the verb "to arrest" also means to make something stop happening: "Physical abuse can arrest a child's emotional development." Or, "Police are doing everything they can to arrest drug sales in this neighborhood." |
