About the Book

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
