American Bar Association Can They Do That? Understanding Prosecutorial Discretion
This volume presents the voices of prosecutors, but also of judges, public defenders, theorists, and advocates for reform. Rather than taking a purely critical approach, this volume brings much-needed nuance to the complex issue of prosecutorial discretion. 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.
