It is a truism that the administration of criminal justice consists of a series of discretionary decisions by police, prosecutors, judges, and other officials. Taming the System is a history of the forty-year effort to control the discretion. It examines the discretion problem from the initial "discovery" of the phenomenon by the American Bar Foundation in the 1950s through to the most recent evaluation research on reform measures. Of enormous value to scholars, reformers, and criminal justice professionals, this book approaches the discretion problem through a detailed examination of four decision points: policing, bail setting, plea bargaining, and sentencing. In a field which largely produces short-ranged "evaluation research," this study, in taking a wider approach, distinguishes between the role of administrative bodies (the police) and evaluates the longer-term trends and the successful reforms in criminal justice history.

The study of decisions in the criminal justice process provides a useful focus for the examination of many fundamental aspects of criminal jus tice. These decisions are not always highly visible. They are made, or dinarily, within wide areas of discretion. The aims of the decisions are not always clear, and, indeed, the principal objectives of these decisions are often the subject of much debate. Usually they are not guided by explicit decision policies. Often the participants are unable to verbalize the basis for the selection of decision alternatives. Adequate information for the decisions is usually unavailable. Rarely can the decisions be demonstrated to be rational. By a rationaldecision we mean "that decision among those possible for the decisionmaker which, in the light of the information available, maximizes the probability of the achievement of the purpose of the decisionmaker in that specific and particular case" (Wilkins, 1974a: 70; also 1969). This definition, which stems from statistical decision theory, points to three fundamental characteristics of decisions. First, it is as sumed that a choice of possible decisions (or, more precisely, of possible alternatives) is available. If only one choice is possible, there is no de cision problem, and the question of rationality does not arise. Usually, of course, there will be a choice, even if the alternative is to decide not to decide-a choice that, of course, often has profound consequences.

'Discretion ... applies to the process of decision-making where there is no single, unarguable or predominant outcome indicated and a choice must be made from available options that are within permissible limits ...' '... there need to be rules in place, to give as great a degree of certainty as is appropriate, to eliminate unprincipled subjectivity, ensure stability and order and provide consistency, fairness, justice and equality of treatment under the law.' Reasonable minds may differ as to the application of those rules. Discretion in Criminal Justice explores the stages of the criminal justice process at which discretion is exercised, discusses the limitations on that exercise and identifies available options for review. The text discusses how and why discretion is applied at each stage (investigation, prosecution, defence, adjudication, sentencing and corrections) and also includes chapters that comprehensively survey the exercise of discretion in regard to bail, juries and appeals. Drawing on the author's extensive and longstanding involvement in criminal justice, including as Director of Public Prosecutions for New South Wales for over 16 years, the text provides an essential practical guide to both students and practitioners as to the principles to be applied and sources of information to assist in decision-making. It will also inform members of the public who may wish to know why and how such decisions are made. This important practical guide for students and practitioners examines the case law, legislation, practice rules and international legal obligations that are applicable and relevant to the criminal justice decision-making process. It also provides lengthy treatment of the historical development of relevant principles to give some context to the present exercise of discretion in those aspects. Features * In-depth analysis backed by legislation and caselaw. * Step-by-step coverage of the stages in the course of the criminal justice process. * NSW coverage with comparisons to other States. * Practical reference for legal practitioner, including as a reference to law, cases and precedents. * Respected and authoritative author * Suitable of both practitioners and the academic sphere Related Titles * Howie et al, Hayes & Eburn Criminal Law and Procedure in New South Wales, 6th ed, 2019 * Finlay & Kirchengast, Criminal Law in Australia, 2nd ed, 2020

This book gives an overview of the empirical research regarding police discretionary decision-making worldwide through 2022 by means of a scoping review. In total, eleven databases were searched and 15,193 publications have been assessed in terms of relevance for this topic, with 1,563 of these being assessed more thoroughly. The shortlist consists of 526 publications. It answers the following questions: What is the amount of available research concerning police decision-making and what are its characteristics? How and where is police decision-making studied? Which crime phenomena are studied? Which types of decisions are studied? Which factors impact police discretion? Overall, the scoping review summarizes the available empirical research on police discretion and helps understand police decision-making processes. These findings are then used to discuss the current scholarship and give recommendations concerning research (e.g. which decision-making processes/decisions are currently lacking in research, which factors need to be explored further, which research methods can be utilized more frequently) and police practice (i.e. how to support police officers in their decision-making and optimize these decision-making processes).
