- Miller, M. L., & Wright, R. (2012). Reporting for Duty: The Universal Prosecutorial Accountability Puzzle and an Experimental Transparency Alternative. In The Prosecutor in Transnational Perspective. Washington, DC: Oxford University Press.More infoThis chapter explores an emerging experiment among American prosecutors who use websites and annual reports to describe for constituents and other observers the patterns of decisions in their offices. This modest mechanism may point toward a larger response to the prosecutorial accountability deficit: functional transparency. The first part of the chapter focuses on two examples of websites and annual reports: those of the Washington State District Attorney in Kitsap County and the Tennessee District Attorney General in Shelby County. The second part connects this public reporting strategy to the two existing strategies that prosecutors around the world use to address the accountability deficit: electoral accountability in the United States, and bureaucratic accountability in Europe, Japan, and elsewhere. It suggests that in the face of increasing caseloads and limited resources, the two traditional responses to the accountability deficit are converging in both American and civil-law systems. The third part discusses how the intriguing but limited development of prosecutorial websites and annual reports can amplify the effects of the more traditional accountability strategies for prosecutors. It asks whether websites and reports might be a third piece of the accountability puzzle—one that would fall under the general heading of transparency.

Washington, DC: ELI Press.More infoThis book is a comprehensive assessment of U.S. progress toward sustainable development and a roadmap of necessary next steps toward achieving a sustainable America. Packed with facts, figures, and the well-informed opinions of thirty-two experts, it provides an illuminating snapshot of sustainability in the United States today. And each of the contributors suggests where we need to go next, recommending three to five specific actions that we should take during the next five to ten years. It thus offers a comprehensive agenda that citizens, corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and government leaders and policymakers can use to make decisions today and to plan for the future.
