"The police booked him for theft."
"Die Polizei hat ihn des Diebstahls angeklagt."
to explain something in simple, non-technical language
a very good chance to do something
to finish something officially
to reduce choices to a smaller number
to start behaving more responsibly.
When the economy improves, everyone benefits to some extent.
