“…Lawyers employed by the state usually prosecute criminal cases on behalf of countries or individuals who make criminal complaints against others. However, in some common-law jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, New Zealand, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Kenya, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and British colonies in the Caribbean and Central America, police officers prosecute misdemeanour cases (Alemika, 2009; Amagnya, 2011; Appiahene-Gyamfi, 2009; Opolot, 2008). When police officers bring charges against a person, present evidence and lead witnesses at trial, it is called police prosecution (USLegal, 2011).…”
