Prosecutors and Democracy

Prosecutors have become one of the most powerful actors of criminal justice systems around the world.

One of the products of this research is the book Prosecutors and Democracy: A Cross-National Study, edited by Máximo Langer and David Alan Sklansky, Cambridge University Press (2017).
