This volume presents the voices of prosecutors, but also of judges, public defenders, theorists, and advocates for reform.

Aspects of prosecutorial discretion explored in this volume include: Theory and historical context; Checks on prosecutorial power; Positive and negative impacts, with examples; Insights into prosecutors’ decision-making processes; and Comparative international perspective.
