National Prosecuting Authority

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is an agency in certain countries, such as South Africa, responsible for prosecuting criminal cases on behalf of the state. Its main role is to ensure that justice is served by bringing offenders to court, presenting evidence, and advocating for appropriate sentences. The NPA operates independently from the police and is focused on upholding the law, protecting victims, and maintaining public confidence in the justice system. It plays a crucial role in preventing crime and promoting accountability within society.
