RESEARCH PLAN AND WORK IN PROGRESS: 2015-2019

What follows can be understood as a research plan at a sufficient level of development and detail that provisional titles are sketched out. They indicate works at varying stages of development between initial drafts and complete manuscripts.

The Five Year Horizon: 2015-2020 Once my book Coercion to Compromise and my edited volume Crime, Inequality and the State were published in 2007, work moved forward on a trio of inter-related sole-authored books, an edited volume, and associated articles. Work on these is moving to conclusion now and publication of each is expected within the next five years. The first book project, which has received funding from the Leverhulme Trust and the British Academy, is an archival study using quantitative and qualitative methods. It explores the historical origins of the controversial practice of plea bargaining (or plea negotiation) in England and probes for its roots during the late 18th, 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries. The second sole-authored book, titled Sea Change, explores the changing landscapes of transnational power to which prosecution and criminal processes, as well as citizens, are responding today. The third book considers the global expansion of plea bargaining as part of an explosion of the practices of discretionary informality in law around the world since 2000. It asks why this change has occurred now and explores its relation to politicization of the courts, corruption and reaction to the requirements of human rights. The edited volume, Comparing Prosecutions, compares and contrasts prosecutorial practice across ten countries and highlights the role of discretion, ways it is exercised and significant implications for power. (Chapters are being written by authors who are native speakers and who often are prosecutors or defense lawyers practicing in those countries as well as scholars. An introduction and theoretically-informed comparative analysis as well as a chapter on prosecution in England and Wales are written by myself.)
