Can They Do That? Understanding Prosecutorial Discretion
Can They Do That? Understanding Prosecutorial Discretion
A prosecutor's decision to file charges -- or not to file them -- is often scrutinized. How are these decisions made? How much discretion does a prosecutor have, and how much discretion should a prosecutor have?
This book explores prosecutorial discretion from varying viewpoints – theory, practice, and from individuals who wish to change the status quo. It is a must have for criminal lawyers, law students and prosecutors’ offices as a training tool.

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.
