Diversity in Prosecutor

Prosecutors Responsibilities

A person can become a prosecutor either by getting elected by the people or getting appointed by the governor. A prosecutor who gets elected means that he /she has to meet with members of the community and leadership and convince them through debates, literature and a good resume that they are the best person to serve the community.In some states however,the governor is the one who makes the appointment based on who they think will carry out the mission and vision he/she may have as it relates to crime and punishment. According to Green(2017) most people do not go out and vote for prosecutors like they do for governors and presidents.Whether a prosecutor is appointed or elected people need to make sure their voices are heard because prosecutors are powerful.

Prosecutors make decisions about criminal cases. If you do something illegal they determine what those consequences should be. According to Green(2017) prosecutors mainly do three things which are to prosecute criminal cases, advise law enforcement and solve social issues. Prosecutors' main job is to protect and serve the community.
