3. Evaluation of the role of prosecutorial discretion in shaping the outcomes of criminal cases and its impact on fairness and equality before the law: This research would examine the scope and limits of prosecutorial discretion in charging decisions, plea bargaining negotiations, and sentencing recommendations, considering factors such as case law precedents, institutional guidelines, and public accountability mechanisms. By analyzing patterns of prosecutorial behavior and disparities in case outcomes across demographic groups, this research can illuminate potential sources of bias and inform efforts to promote transparency, accountability, and procedural fairness within the criminal justice system.
