public prosecutor-In court, it is the Public Prosecutor who represents theinterests of the State. The role of the Prosecutor begins oncethe police has conducted the investigation and filed thechargesheet in the court. He/she has no role to play in theinvestigation. The Prosecutor must conduct the prosecutionon behalf of the State. As an officer of the court, it is his/her duty to act impartially and present the full and materialfacts, witnesses and evidence before the court to enable thecourt to decide the case.
judge-The judge is like an umpire in a game and conducts the trialimpartially and in an open court. The judge hears all thewitnesses and any other evidence presented by theprosecution and the defence. The judge decides whether theaccused person is guilty or innocent on the basis of theevidence presented and in accordance with the law. If theaccused is convicted, then the judge pronounces the sentence.He may send the person to jail or impose a fine or both,depending on what the law prescribes.
police- the role of the police is to hear the witnesses and record their statements.

- Law Enforcement: Law enforcement officers take reports for crimes that happen in their areas. Officers investigate crimes and gather and protect evidence. Law enforcement officers may arrest offenders, give testimony during the court process, and conduct follow-up investigations if needed.
- Prosecution: Prosecutors are lawyers who represent the state or federal government (not the victim) throughout the court process-from the first appearance of the accused in court until the accused is acquitted or sentenced. Prosecutors review the evidence brought to them by law enforcement to decide whether to file charges or drop the case. Prosecutors present evidence in court, question witnesses, and decide (at any point after charges have been filed) whether to negotiate plea bargains with defendants. They have great discretion, or freedom, to make choices about how to prosecute the case. Victims may contact the prosecutor's office to find out which prosecutor is in charge of their case, to inform the prosecutor if the defense attorney has contacted the victim2, and to seek other information about the case.
- Defense Attorneys: Defense attorneys defend the accused against the government's case. They are ether hired by the defendant or (for defendants who cannot afford an attorney) they are assigned by the court. While the prosecutor represents the state, the defense attorney represents the defendant.
- Courts: Courts are run by judges, whose role is to make sure the law is followed and oversee what happens in court. They decide whether to release offenders before the trial. Judges accept or reject plea agreements, oversee trials, and sentence convicted offenders.
- Corrections: Correction officers supervise convicted offenders when they are in jail, in prison, or in the community on probation or parole. In some communities, corrections officers prepare pre-sentencing reports with extensive background information about the offender to help judges decide sentences. The job of corrections officers is to make sure the facilities that hold offenders are secure and safe. They oversee the day-to-day custody of inmates. They also oversee the release processes for inmates and sometimes notify victims of changes in the offender's status.
