The Prosecuting Attorney
Buckner, Emory R. | May 1, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Politics and Criminal Prosecution," by Raymond Moley. Moley has accurately drawn the picture of power possessed by the American prosecutor. His hegemony in the field of the administration of criminal law has, as Professor Moley points out, been to a large extent overlooked. Professor Moley demonstrates beyond the possibility of successful dispute that politics may control the prosecutor and hence in a very great degree the administration of criminal law. That the office of a prosecutor may be used by him to pay political debts or to build the foundations of a political career not by his efficiency and honesty but by the organization of a personal political machine is of course true.
