The Code for Crown Prosecutors. Crown Prosecution Service January 2013, pp. 24.
01 March 2013
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, has published the seventh edition of
The Code , which provides guidance to prosecutors and police in deciding whether or not to charge a suspect. The Code says: “The CPS has recently widened the range of cases that it prosecutes, which includes motoring, benefit fraud, sexual offences, corruption, murder and the most complex fraud and organised crime. Given this variety of cases on which charging decisions are made, this new version of the Code is a simpler, stripped back statement of overarching principles that can be applied to every case. It sits side-by-side with a wealth of existing legal guidance on specific offences.”
