In all of these countries, where the majority of cases are decided by forms of adjudication in which judges are often called to just confirm agreements achieved between parties, the criminal investigation has become a central point of the criminal process. It is important to make a conscience determination regarding who shall be in charge of this stage of the process. Prosecutors have gained tremendous powers to influence the outcome of the criminal cases, including powers once reserved only for judges. The book attempts to answer the question of whether in the system in which the role of the trial is diminishing, and where the significance of criminal investigation is constantly growing, should the powers of the prosecutor at the early stage of the process be enhanced. Using a problem-oriented approach that begins with the identification of a problem and then looks for potential common solutions, the book provides a parallel analysis of each country along five possible spheres of prosecutorial engagement: commencing criminal investigation, conducting criminal investigation, undertaking the initial charging decision, imposing coercive measures and discontinuing criminal investigation. Using the competing models of the adversarial versus inquisitorial approach as a framework, the focus is on the prosecutor as a crucial figure of criminal process and investigation to various degrees in different systems. The insights of this comparative treatment are relevant to students and academics in criminal justice, criminology, law, and public policy, as well as policymakers, government officials, and others interested in legal reform"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Public prosecutors $z United States. 650 0 $a Public prosecutors $z European Union countries. 650 0 $a Criminal procedure $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal procedure $z European Union countries. 650 0 $a Criminal investigation $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal investigation $z European Union countries. 650 7 $a Criminal investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883201 650 7 $a Criminal procedure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883421 650 7 $a Public prosecutors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082827 651 7 $a European Union countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01269470 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kremens, Karolina, $t Powers of the prosecutor in criminal investigation $d New York, NY ; Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2021 $z 9781003018247 $w (DLC) 2020032431 830 0 $a Directions and developments in criminal justice and law. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018023602.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE8D0F4EA5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
