In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

| ix Acknowledgments This book could not have been completed without the tremendous efforts of many people. The editors would like to thank several in particular. First and most obviously, we must thank the book’s contributing authors. As a compilation, this book is only the sum of its parts. We are fortunate and grateful to have worked with such an incredibly talented and diligent group of scholars. These scholars also deserve thanks for participating in the Center on the Administration of Criminal Law’s inaugural annual major conference, “Regulation by Prosecutors,” where many of the ideas in the book first emerged. Additional thanks also go to the scholars who served as moderators at the conference and spurred a great discussion and all the practitioners who participated in the conference as speakers. David B. Edwards (’08), Attorney-in-Residence at the Center in 2009 and 2010, deserves special thanks. Dave was absolutely indispensable to the publication of this book. He edited every page of it in one way or another, often several times. He formatted the entire book. He made helpful substantive contributions to each part of it. It could not have been published without him, and is a much better book because of him. Jing-Li Yu, David’s successor, also deserves special thanks. Many New York University School of Law students who worked as Center fellows also made significant contributions. We thank Julia Fong Sheketoff (’10), Laura J. Arandes (’11), Mahalia Annah-Marie Cole (’11), Kelly Geoghegan (’11), Alexander Li (’12), Karl Mulloney-Radke (’12), Meagan Elizabeth Powers (’11), Jason A. Richman (’11), Elizabeth-Ann S. Tierney (’11), and Alicia J. Yass (’11). Two Harvard Law School students who worked as Center summer fellows, Mark Savignac and Tom Ferriss, also provided first-rate assistance; we owe a special thanks to Mark for his work on the introduction. Thanks to Barry Friedman and Noah Feldman for their help in navigating the world of book publishing. x | Acknowledgments Finally, neither the Center nor any of its activities, including this book, would have been possible without the generous support of Dean Ricky Revesz and of the Ford Foundation. We thank both for making possible this endeavor. You can read about the Center and its work at www.prosecutioncenter.org. ...
