	The Crown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Crown is also the source of all justice in the UK (which is why there is the Crown Prosecution Service in the criminal courts whose lawyers are called Crown Prosecutors), which also meant that it was immune from prosecution.
		Crown servants may not sit as Members of Parliament and this is used as a way of allowing MPs to retire before their time—they are awarded a sinecure job which is that of a Crown Servant and thus disbarred as an MP (see resignation from the British House of Commons).
		In practice, in the vast majority of cases, the powers of the Crown outside the United Kingdom are not exercised by the Monarch personally, but rather by a Governor-General, Governor, or Lieutenant Governor (as the case may be), on the advice of the ministers of the local federal/national, state or provincial government.

	Crown Prosecution Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Crown Prosecution Service, or CPS, is a non-ministerial department of the Government of the United Kingdom responsible for public prosecutions of people charged with criminal offences in England and Wales.
		The Crown Prosecution Service is responsible for criminal cases beyond the investigation, which is the job of the Police.
		A White Paper was released in 1983, becoming the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985, which established the CPS under the direction of the Director of Public Prosecutions, consisting of a merger of his old department with the existing police prosecution departments.

	Review of the Crown Prosecution Service - Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The origins of the Crown Prosecution Service (“the CPS”) are to be found in the Report of the Royal Commission on Criminal Procedure, chaired by Sir Cyril Philips, which was published in 1981.
		Government therefore opted for the establishment of “a national Prosecution Service headed by the Director of Public Prosecutions and under the superintendence of the Attorney General”, which would not be accountable to any local body.
		The prosecution process is essentially local in nature and whilst senior managers claim to have devolved management to a local level we discovered that the Branches feel closely controlled and are required to operate in highly standardised ways.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| We're racist, admits CPS chief
		The director of public prosecutions, David Calvert-Smith, acknowledged yesterday that the crown prosecution service is institutionally racist and admitted that this could affect how decisions are taken in the prosecution process.
		A separate report by the commission for racial equality discovered that two distinct prosecuting teams, split on racial lines, were operating in the Croydon branch of the CPS and managers had failed to take action to stop this.
		She said the findings of the research, which the CPS suggested had "cleared" the service, actually suggest that it is "discriminating against ethnic minority defendants by failing to correct the bias in police charging decisions and allowing a disproportionate number of weak cases against ethnic minority defendants to go to trial.

		The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will now have to reconsider its decision not to prosecute any individuals for manslaughter following yesterday's inquest verdict of 'unlawful killing' which concerned the deaths of four mean who fell 30 metres from the Avonmouth bridge in September 1999.
		This is because they have already been prosecuted and convicted of health and safety offences, and a defendant can not be prosecuted a second time for a different offence on the basis of the same set of facts.
		It is likely that the HSE will be considering whether there is now sufficient evidence to prosecute any individual manager or director for health and safety offences.
