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.
