How Do Different Prosecutors React To The Same Case City Journal This study is quite limited in some ways, but it provides a rare glimpse into the “black box” of prosecutor decision making, reveals wide variation in how prosecutors might handle the same case, and highlights a promising way forward for future research. Using data from interviews and focus groups with prosecutors in three midsized jurisdictions, we propose a model of charging that integrates legal considerations, social identity, and organizational constraints.

By situating reformist prosecutors’ policies within this broader context, the article exposes how the myth of individualized enforcement has been weaponized to delegitimize reform efforts while shielding conventional prosecutors from scrutiny. As a natural experiment, nyc has 5 counties and 5 prosecutors. how convenient! if i had to guess how “tough” a prosecutor is based on reputation, i’d rank order: staten island (richmond county), queens, manhattan (new york county), brooklyn (kings county), the bronx. and the data supports this.
