Abstract
The study of escape bahaviour of warranted suspected involves Qualitative Research by means of in-depth interviews of individual with experiences and expertise in tracing warranted suspects in order to analyse the escape behaviour of warranted suspects in order to find out where they fled to following acts of crime. The study found that there were different factors affecting escape behavior such as suspect financial position, suspect background, suspect demeanor, severity of crime, past crime history, and geography. The experts have opined that “the main point about escape behaviour is not how the suspects escape, but how they live their lives following the acts of crime”. The most important information leading to suspect arrests is social security information which details his new occupation. The second most important is the suspect’s financial activities, with the third being his telephone usage and other service records like medical care, utilities, electricity, water, food order, as well as cable TV viewing having secondary significance. Meanwhile, the main obstacles associated with the arrests of warranted suspects are the insufficient number of investigators and the lack of the application of relevant technologies to facilitate the officers’ operations. The researcher therefore suggests that all the data relevant to investigation should be linked nationwide via technology to help with the arrests of suspects. This research has resulted in a new body of knowledge in tracing warranted suspects, the result of which can be developed further into the warranted suspects tracing system. By doing so, the effectiveness and capacity of the police in arresting warranted suspects will be enhanced.

Summary
Crime is a severe problem and the so-called “scourge of the society”. It directly affects the safety of the citizens as well as social order in general. Even though every single government has realised the severity of crime and the police has worked to the best of their ability in trying to bring suspected criminal to justice in an effort to maintain peace and protect the lives and properties of citizens, there still remain some criminals on the run. This is reflected in the number of accumulated warrants whereby.
