criminal

Step-by-step explanation:

according to Criminal commitment, it is the process by which people are detained in a mental health facility for assessment of fitness to stand trial because they have been accused of committing a crime. This type of commitment is also used if a person has been found not guilty of a crime by reason of insanity.
