Under the scope of criminal procedure law, the concept of "crime" is examined in accordance with legal regulations, aiming to protect individual rights and freedoms. In this process, the criminal defense attorney represents the client in investigations and proceedings involving detention, arrest, appeals, or execution of sentence.
