To accurately arrange the stages of the criminal justice process in the correct order, you would typically follow these stages:

  1. Investigation - Law enforcement investigates the alleged crime.
  2. Arrest - The suspect is arrested based on evidence.
  3. Booking - The suspect is processed and recorded in the system.
  4. Initial Appearance - The suspect is brought before a judge, informed of charges, and bail may be set.
  5. Preliminary Hearing/Grand Jury - Evidence is reviewed to determine if there is enough to proceed to trial.
  6. Indictment or Information - Formal charges are filed.
  7. Arraignment - The defendant appears in court to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty, no contest).
  8. Trial - The case is presented in court, and a verdict is reached.
  9. Sentencing - If found guilty, the judge determines the punishment.
  10. Appeal - The defendant has the right to appeal the conviction or sentence.

Please adjust the stages based on specific instructions or variations that may apply in particular jurisdictions.
