Extradition is the legal process whereby someone is removed from one country and transferred to another against their will. The procedure may be used for the purpose of criminal prosecution; if someone has been convicted of a crime and needs to be sentenced; or if a sentence has already been imposed  and needs to be carried out.

Without extradition, people would be able to escape justice by moving from country to country, as it is not possible for foreign authorities to arrest someone in another country. Extradition allows countries to make requests for another country to arrest and transfer people in order to prosecute, convict, sentence or enforce an already imposed sentence on them.
