Speeches by Law Officers

Director of Public Prosecutions

The Statement of Prosecution Policy and Practice was released on 31 October 2002. It represents a decisive shift towards openness in the area of public prosecutions. The Statement has been revised substantially since the issue of its predecessor in 1998, and the document has been modernised and developed in the interests of transparency and accountability. Through The Statement the parameters within which prosecutors operate are defined, and the prosecution process is explained to the public. By applying the policy and practices in The Statement, prosecutors will continue to advance the rule of law and to contribute to the proper administration of criminal justice.
