Measuring Justice Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 June 2019
Performance statistics, indicators, rates and targets were a common feature in the working world of most prosecutors who I observed and interviewed. During the hundreds of hours of ethnographic fieldwork conducted within the NPA between 2008 and 2012, they often discussed their work and their daily concerns in terms of NPA statistics or with regard to specific NPA performance rates and indicators, both with each other and with me. For example, lower court prosecutors would refer to cases which could be finalised quickly – namely cases where the offender pleaded guilty at first or second appearance or where the case would be mediated or diverted away from the criminal justice system – as ‘good for the stats’ or as ‘assisting them in achieving their target’ during these informal tea or lunch break conversations.
