Text 1. The Prosecutor’s Office
Prosecutor is a government official charged with bringing defendants in criminal cases to justice in the name of the state. Although responsibilities vary from one jurisdiction to another, many prosecutors are in charge of all phases of a criminal proceedings, from investigation by the police through trial and beyond to all levels of appeal. Many also defend the state in civil actions. In the UK prosecution is carried out in the name of the crown. In this sense the crown can be said to prosecute, and the prosecution is often referred to as “the crown”.
According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine constitutes a unified system that is entrusted with:
1) prosecution in court on behalf of the State;
2) representation of the interests of a citizen or of the State in court in cases determined by law;
3) supervision of the observance of laws by bodies that conduct detective and search activity, inquiry and pre-trial investigation;
4) supervision of the observance of laws in the execution of judicial decisions in criminal cases, and also in application of other measures of coercion related to the restraint of personal liberty of citizens.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine is headed by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, who is appointed to office with the consent of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and dismissed from office by the President of Ukraine. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine may express no confidence in the Prosecutor General of Ukraine that results in his or her resignation from office. The term of authority of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine is five years.
In the UK the Crown Prosecution Service is responsible for prosecuting people charged with a criminal offence. As the principal prosecuting authority in England and Wales, it is responsible for:
– advising the police on cases for possible prosecution;
– reviewing cases submitted by the police;
– preparing cases for court;
– presentation of cases at court.
The head of the Crown Prosecution Service is the Director of Public Prosecutions. The Director of Public Prosecutions reports to the Attorney General, who holds Parliamentary responsibility for the Service. The Crown Prosecution Service employs approximately 7,700 staff including lawyers and administrators. These key personnel are located throughout the country and handle over 1.3 million magistrates’ court cases and 115,000 Crown court cases every year. The Crown Prosecution Service started operating in 1986 when the Prosecution of Offences Act (1985) became law. Before this time local police forces were responsible for deciding whether to prosecute particular cases.
