Spanish term or phrase: individualizar
Hola,

He tratado de encontrar el término en mi diccionario y glosarios legales pero no lo he encontrado, o será que en este caso se traduce de manera literal?

Detención:
Si en el primer momento de la investigación de un hecho, no fuere posible **individualizar** inmediatamente al presunto responsable o a los testigos, y no pudiere dejarse de proceder sin menoscabo de la investigación, el cuerpo policial podrá disponer que ninguno de los presentes se aleje del lugar por un plazo no mayor de tres horas
