Wherever the criminal court, the mission of the public prosecutor is to prosecute in the name of society. The prosecutor's task is to ask for the application of criminal law which explains why the prosecutor is sometimes called 'the society's attorney'. He acts exactly as a party because he is engaged in the trial in the same way as a private party that wants to see its rights recognised. That is why it is interesting to study the specific role of the public prosecutor in front of each ordinary court and then the common missions of the public prosecutor during hearings.

∙ 10y agoProsecutors are Agents of the Attorney General and represent the interests of the general public in the criminal justice system.
As a society, we share an interest in protecting ourselves from criminals and the damage they cause. Our law enforcement system investigates crime and prosecutes offenders. However, the justice system must also protect our valued rights and freedoms and convict only the guilty. The prosecutor's job is to recognize these different and competing interests and conduct the prosecution's business in a way that best serves them all.
Prosecutors also have a duty to act in a way that strikes a fair balance between the competing interests of convicting the guilty, protecting citizens' rights and freedoms and protecting the public from criminals. As a result, prosecutors do not work simply to get convictions. They are not the representatives of any special interest group. They do not act as the lawyers for victims of crime. Prosecutors represent the interests of all of us in ensuring that prosecutions are conducted in a diligent, competent and fair way that respects the rights of all citizens.

How can a victim prosecutor role be ended?
Answer The person in the "prosecutor" role needs to take the necessary steps to end this type relationship since the "prosecutor" probably created this "victim prosecutor" role. I'm sure the "victim" would appreciate it tremendously. Also, if the victim is a smart person and a good person and realizes that maybe he/she, innocent as it could have been, possibly unknowingly helped to create this role, will help to end it if both parties can acknowledge that they are sorry for what happened to create this role. It can be easy if both people want it!!!
