Model Prosecution Policy

The Model Prosecution Policy provides guidelines that prosecutors follow when deciding whether to bring criminal charges. It aims to ensure consistent, fair, and transparent decision-making by considering factors like evidence strength, public interest, and legal priorities. The policy helps balance the interests of justice and efficiency, preventing unnecessary or weak cases from proceeding and ensuring serious or important cases receive appropriate attention. Essentially, it serves as a framework to promote fair and responsible prosecution practices across the justice system.
