Preferred term

economics of plea bargaining  

Definition(s)

  • A plea bargain is a voluntary exchange of concessions in which a defendant waives his right to a full criminal trial in return for the prosecutor's guarantee of a lesser sentence than would be expected after a conviction at trial. In adversarial systems, plea bargaining is made possible by the law's allocation of valuable, tradableassets to both sides. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Plea Bargaining, Economics Of]
