What does the DPP take into account when deciding whether to continue or terminate a prosecution?

0

Decisions on prosecutions can be complex. The DPP takes into account the written law and applies a set of published prosecution guidelines (available on this website). The DPP ultimately makes decisions based on the public interest. The DPP endeavours, wherever possible, to take into account the views of victims of crime when substantially reducing or discontinuing charges.
