A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Surrender of a criminal refers to an officer's act of handing over a prisoner to the authorities in the jurisdiction where the crime was committed. This process is also known as extradition or rendition.

Example: If a criminal commits a crime in one state and flees to another state, the law enforcement officers in the state where the crime was committed can request the officers in the other state to surrender the criminal. The officers in the other state will then hand over the criminal to the authorities in the state where the crime was committed.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the surrender of a criminal works in practice. When a criminal flees to another state, they cannot escape justice as the law enforcement officers in the state where the crime was committed can request their surrender. This ensures that criminals are held accountable for their actions regardless of where they try to hide.
