Hiring and learning strategies in prosecution services
(2021) p.207-226- Abstract
The chapter provides a comparative overview of current hiring and learning strategies in prosecution services. It draws on empirical examples from all parts of the world. Specifically, the chapter compares the hiring of chief prosecutors and frontline prosecutors, it compares how learning is organized and carried out, and it describes and discusses the most significant individual methods of learning currently applied by prosecution services. The comparison shows some level of convergence of techniques and strategies. However, prosecution services continue to vary significantly in how they organize and carry out hiring and in how prosecutors learn.

The chapter provides a comparative overview of current hiring and learning strategies in prosecution services. It draws on empirical examples from all parts of the world. Specifically, the chapter compares the hiring of chief prosecutors and frontline prosecutors, it compares how learning is organized and carried out, and it describes and discusses the most significant individual methods of learning currently applied by prosecution services. The comparison shows some level of convergence of techniques and strategies. However, prosecution services continue to vary significantly in how they organize and carry out hiring and in how prosecutors learn. To some degree these variations reflect different levels of professionalization and legal accountability, but they also reflect the markedly different ideals, roles, and functions that drive prosecution services in different societies and legal cultures. These differences make for very different conditions under which new and better ways of hiring and learning can be implemented with a view to ensure qualified and legitimate prosecution services.
