This chapter examines how Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPA) schemes support or subvert conviction-based paradigms of criminal justice, and how instruments like the DPA are changing the role of prosecution agencies within the system. The DPA joins a crowded field of innovative regulatory tools: civil penalties, enforceable undertakings, as well as non-conviction freezing and confiscation orders are now available to combat with a wide range of criminality, both individual and corporate. The chapter examines how the DPA, though novel in form, is part of a much longer trajectory of hybrid justice, one which melds a range of purposes and functions, deterrent, punitive, incapacitative, preventive, restorative and restitutionary. It explores how negotiating justice using new hybrids, such as DPAs, poses new challenges for those prosecutors and regulators dealing with corporate crime and misconduct. The chapter shows that legal hybrids have been normalised in many modern legal systems.

In Australia, recent reports have documented the disproportionate levels of violence and abuse experienced by people with disabilities, in conjunction with multiple barriers preventing people with disabilities from accessing systems of justice. The reports pay little attention to the role that police and prosecutors could and should play in improving access to justice. This article considers the role of police and prosecutors in light of the obligations contained in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), arguing for the active accommodation of disability in police and prosecution practices, including in the way police and prosecutors respond to people with cognitive impairment who present as both victims and offenders with complex needs. The interrogation of current debates from a human rights perspective reveals underlying contradictions in the way different stakeholders perceive the role of police and prosecutors, pointing to the need for further theoretical and practical interrogation of prosecution work
