Perp walk
Significado: The public display of a handcuffed suspect being led by police, often for media cameras.
A uniquely American phenomenon where police deliberately walk a suspect ('perpetrator') past media cameras after arrest. Serves as public shaming, deterrence, and political theater. Controversial — critics say it violates presumption of innocence.
