What does 'Modus Operandi' refer to?

  1. The specific process in a legal action

  2. A principle in criminal law

  3. The method or technique followed in the performance of a criminal act

  4. A theory of motivation

The correct answer is: The method or technique followed in the performance of a criminal act

Modus Operandi is a Latin term commonly used in the criminal justice system. It refers to the method or technique followed by a criminal in the performance of a crime. This encompasses the specific steps taken and actions carried out, including planning, execution, and concealment. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a specific process within the legal system, not the criminal's approach. Option B is incorrect because although Modus Operandi is a principle in criminal law, it is not the only principle and does not fully encompass its definition. Option D is incorrect because while it may touch upon the motivation and actions of a criminal, it does not fully define Modus Operandi. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and complete answer.
