Answer:

Down below

Step-by-step explanation:

An arrest is when you put the handcuffs on the person and read them their rights. You are formally accusing the person of committing a crime and placing them in police custody. A booking is when you you do things like mugshots and get their personal information to put into the record.

Haven't done criminal justice in a while, so I hope this is right. Good luck! :)
