The American prosecutor plays a powerful role in the judicial
system, wielding the authority to accept or decline a case, choose
which crimes to allege, and decide the number of counts to charge.
These choices, among others, are often made with little supervision
or institutional oversight. This prosecutorial discretion has
prompted scholars to look to the role of prosecutors in Europe for
insight on how to reform the American system of justice.
In The Prosecutor in Transnational Perspective, Erik Luna and
Marianne Wade, through the works of their contributors coupled with
their own analysis, demonstrate that valuable lessons can be
learned from a transnational examination of prosecutorial
authority. They examine both parallels and distinctions in the
processes available to and decisions made by prosecutors in the
United States and Europe. Ultimately, they demonstrate how the
enhanced role of the prosecutor represents a crossroads for
criminal justice with weighty legal and socio-economic
consequences.
