Enforcement proceedings in summary conviction matters follow conviction and sentencing.

• A. Enforcement procedures follow conviction and sentencing.
• B. There are no enforcement steps after verdict.
• C. Enforcement is handled by the victim's family.
• D. Enforcement requires a new charge.

Answer: (A)

Enforcement actions are tied to the court’s orders, which only come into effect after a conviction and a sentence are imposed. In a summary conviction case, the judge first determines guilt (conviction) and then imposes a sentence. It’s the sentencing that creates binding obligations—fines to be paid, probation or other conditions, or imprisonment—that enforcement procedures actually carry out. So enforcement follows conviction and sentencing because that is when the enforceable orders exist.

The other statements don’t fit the process: enforcement steps do occur after sentencing (not after a verdict alone), enforcement isn’t handled by the victim’s family, and you don’t need a new charge to enforce what the court has already ordered.
