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.
