CAN THEY DO THAT de Melba V. Pearson

CAN THEY DO THAT

Autor Melba V. Pearson
en Limba Engleză Carte – 6 iun 2021

Author Melba Pearson helps the reader understand how these decisions are made and discusses how much discretion does and should a prosecutor have? Pearson brings together diverse perspectives to consider those questions in the voices of prosecutors, judges, public defenders, theorists and advocates for reform. Rather than taking a purely critical approach, ¿Can They Do That?¿ brings much needed nuance to the complex issue of prosecutorial discretion. It will be a valuable resource for criminal law practitioners, law students, prosecutors' offices and anyone interested in the topic ¿ lawyers as well as the general voting public.

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
  • Comparative international perspective
