title = {Leniency Policies in the Prosecution of Economic Crimes and Corruption},
year = {2021},
note = {Based on empirical research, the book develops a critical analysis of
the use of leniency policies in Brazil.  Drawing on a comparative
perspective with German Law, the book shows how the current practice
of leniency policies in Brazil jeopardizes fundamental guarantees of
criminal procedure.  The book also draws on a growing body of economic
literature to assert that leniency agreements have serious – albeit
unnoticed – side effects and may lead to significant negative
externalities. The book rejects the association of leniency policies
with the ideal of “consensual justice” and affirms that these
mechanisms represent a form of privatization of investigative and
prosecutorial activities, exploring the expectations and risks of this
process.},
