Community Prosecution and Serious Crime: A Guide for Prosecutors

Abstract

How can community prosecution improve responses to serious and violent crime? This report answers that question by looking at the experience of several jurisdictions. In doing so, this document seeks to expand awareness about an important crime-fighting philosophy that some—particularly those who associate com- munity prosecution with only low-level crime—might have overlooked.
