Prosecution Management in North Carolina 1995

Abstract

It is important to maintain offices at reasonable staffing levels. However, when resources are strained, it is more important to manage them efficiently and effectively. Good management is a goal for all prosecutors but the underlying questions are, what is good management and how does one know when it has been achieved? Furthermore, if management needs to be improved, then how is this diagnosed and what are the performance measures that should be used? Finally, is there a need for additional funding and other resources to bring the management of prosecutors' offices up to an acceptable level? This report presents an approach for evaluating the management needs of prosecution statewide.
