Synopsis
The power of the modern prosecutor arises from several features of the criminal justice landscape: widespread use of law and order political rhetoric and heightened fear of crime among voters; legislatures' embrace of extreme sentencing ranges to respond to such concerns; and the uncertain or limited accountability of prosecutors to the electorate, the bar, or other political and professional constituencies. The convergence of these trends has transformed prosecution into an indispensable field of study.
This volume brings together the work of leading international scholars across criminology, sociology, political science, and law - along with contributions from reform-minded practitioners - to examine a variety of issues in prosecutorial behaviour and the institutional structures that frame their behavior.
The Handbook connects the dots among existing theoretical and empirical research related to prosecutors. Major sections of the volume cover (1) prosecutor performance during distinct phases of a criminal case, (2) the features of the prosecutor's environment, both inside the office and external to the office, that influence the choices of individual prosecutors and office leaders, and (3) prosecutorial strategies and priorities when dealing with specialized types of crimes, victims, and defendants. Taken together, the chapters in this volume identify the founding texts, discuss leading theoretical and methodological approaches, explain the scope of unresolved issues, and preview where this field is headed. The volume provides a bottom-up view of an important new scholarly field.

The volume provides a bottom-up view of an important new scholarly field. This book brings together the work of legal scholars, sociologists, criminologists, political scientists, and law reformers to better understand a pivotal actor in the criminal legal systems all around the world: the prosecutor. Scholarship focusing on prosecutors in particular has begun to emerge as its own sub-discipline within criminal law, and this book surveys the many different strands of that work, underscoring the diversity among prosecutors around the world. The chapters reveal the ordinary conduct of the prosecutor at various stages of criminal proceedings, the various interactions of prosecutors with local communities and other governmental actors, and the distinctive habits and concerns that arise for prosecutors in specialized settings such asjuvenile justice and immigration.
