The German Prosecution Service: Guardians of the Law?

Are you intrigued by the inner workings of the legal system? Do you want to understand how prosecutors make their decisions and seek the truth? Look no further than "The German Prosecution Service: Guardians of the Law?" This groundbreaking book will take you behind closed doors and provide an unprecedented look into the world of German prosecutors.

Acclaimed as the "most objective prosecutors in the world," the German prosecution service has fascinated scholars of comparative law for years. With its institutional position and statutory mandate, it's no wonder why they hold such a reputation. But has this perception changed with the introduction of charge-bargaining?

By using interview data from German prosecutors themselves and quantitative data, this book offers a compelling argument. Real-world constraints, not changes in the law, have undermined the ability of German prosecutors to objectively seek the truth. Through the voices of prosecutors themselves, the book reveals the realities of practice and critically revises previous studies of German prosecution practices. Get ready for a well-researched ethnographic analysis of actual German decision-making practices and the culture of the prosecution service.

Unlike prosecutors in America's adversarial system, German prosecutors are positioned as (at least semi-)judicial officials dedicated to finding a case's objective truth. This book argues that organizational incentives and norms shape how prosecutors investigate and prosecute crime in Germany, rather than the boundaries of the law. Discover the untold stories that shape the German prosecution service.
