The voice of the community in the criminal justice system: Democratic participation in prosecution
This article explores a pivotal moment where active community engagement plays a crucial role in the criminal process. It argues for the consistent representation of the community by prosecutors, emphasising their role in holding fellow citizens accountable or deciding not to prosecute based on various discretion criteria. This necessitates that prosecutors engage in discussions with the community on specific issues. Drawing on a deliberative democracy approach, the article aims to demonstrate the importance of public participation in the criminal process and to reshape the role of prosecutors.
