The Politics of Federal Prosecution
Author: Christina L. BoydPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197554695

Book Description
Federal prosecutors have immense power and discretion to decide when to bring criminal charges, what plea bargains to offer, and how to implement the federal government's legal priorities in their districts. While U.S. Attorneys take pains to emphasize their independence, we know relatively little about the extent to which politics colors federal prosecutorial staffing and decision making. The Politics of Federal Prosecution draws upon a wealth of data from 1990s to the present to examine the interplay of political factors and federal prosecution. First, the authors find that congressional and presidential politics affect who becomes federal prosecutors and how long those individuals serve. Second, the book demonstrates that signals of presidential and congressional preferences, along with local priorities, affect key prosecutorial decisions: whether to bring prosecutions, how to approach plea bargaining negotiations, and when to utilize criminal asset forfeiture to cripple criminal activities. In short, the book demonstrates that politics affects the behavior of U.S. Attorneys at nearly every stage of their service.

Corporate Crime: Preliminary Observations on DoJ¿s Use and Oversight of Deferred Prosecution and Non-Prosecution Agreements
Author: Eileen Regen LarencePublisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437918492
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 35
Book Description
Recent cases of corp. fraud and mis-management heighten the Dept. of Justice's (DoJ) need to appropriately punish and deter corp. crime. Recently, DoJ has made more use of deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreements (DPAs and NPAs), in which prosecutors may require co. reform, among other things, in exchange for deferring prosecution, and may also require co. to hire an independent monitor to oversee compliance. This testimony provides observations on: (1) factors DoJ considers when deciding whether to enter into a DPA or NPA and setting the terms of the agreements; (2) methods DoJ uses to oversee co. compliance; (3) processes by which monitors are selected; and (4) co. perspectives re: the costs and role of the monitor.
