Role of public prosecutor:

The prosecutor has three main tasks: to investigate crimes, to decide whether or not to instigate legal proceedings and to appear in court.

The prosecutor investigates crimes together with the police. He or she shall have contact with the person suspected of the crime, the victim and witnesses, and have close contact with the police.

Once the preliminary investigations have been completed, the prosecutor judges whether there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to court. If it is a minor crime, and the suspect admits his or her guilt, the prosecutor imposes a fine. This is referred to as an order of summary punishment, and no trial will be held.

If an action is initiated there will be a trial in a court of law. The task of the prosecutor is to prove that the suspect has committed the crime. He or she questions the suspect, the witnesses and experts in order to establish that the suspect is guilty.

Role of defence lawyer:

A criminal defense lawyer fulfills many important roles during the course of a criminal case. He or she is is responsible for defending a person who is charged with a crime. He or she speaks on the client’s behalf.

Role of judge:

A judge is an elected or appointed official who conducts court proceedings. Judges

must be impartial and strive to properly interpret the meaning, significance, and

implications of the law. Judges must also recognize that justice means more than

just interpreting the law — they must also show compassion and understanding for

the people on both sides of the case.

Role of police:

The police work to keep everyone safe and keep order in society through law enforcement agencies that work to prevent crime and apprehend offenders. There are four general responsibilities of police officers. They are:

1. Enforcing laws

2. Preventing crime

3. Responding to emergencies

4. Providing support services
