Preferred term

community prosecution  

Definition(s)

  • Community prosecution is an emerging philosophy that redefines the role of the prosecutor as problem solver rather than case processor. It places prosecutors out on the streets with citizen groups to identify problems facing neighborhoods and then to work with community members, police, and other local agencies to determine how best to allocate resources and to develop a broad range of solutions.
