Massachusetts State Police Radio Codes and Alphabet Practice Test

An accomplice is someone who helps the principal commit a crime and shares responsibility for the wrongdoing. This term covers active participation or aiding in the planning or execution of the crime, not merely observing. Because the person assisted in making the crime happen and is legally liable along with the main offender, this fits the description given.

A witness, on the other hand, merely observes what happens and isn’t involved in carrying out the crime. A victim is someone harmed by the crime, not a participant. A bystander is someone present but not involved in the wrongdoing. These roles do not describe someone who helped complete the crime and shares liability, so they aren’t the right fit here.
