Adam Gershowitz and Laura Killinger rightly explore an important problem that prosecutors face: they are spread too thin trying to prosecute too many cases.

In the American criminal justice system, prosecuting attorneys arguably enjoy broader discretion than any other system actor.

In the cases of corporate crime, US prosecutors can lodge charges against the corporation, its managers, or both. However, the emergence of systemically important firms, most notably in the financial sector, constrains prosecutors. This paper develops a new model of corporate criminal liability and shows how the Too Big To Jail problem reduces the deterrence effect of a crime control policy rel...

Recent legislation has expanded the jurisdiction of the federal government over crimes that were traditionally prohibited only by state law. Previous work has neglected the potentially important role of prosecutors' incentives in allocating cases to the federal and state systems. We model the decision-making process of state and federal prosecutors, and, using data from state and federal inmate...

Results of a provincial survey of Judges and Crown Prosecutors to determine specifically, their attitudes, knowledge, behaviors and training needs related to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.
