Abstract
This chapter situates the book’s thesis by urging prosecutors to embrace the leadership challenge of defining a better criminal justice system. Professor Anthony Thompson explains that prosecutors must actively work to reorient the system by reducing bias, curbing its punitive excesses, and maintaining safety for all. They can do this only if chief prosecutors develop and articulate a shared vision of what the criminal justice system should look like. The process of verbalizing the components of a different justice system—being clear and specific enough for others to visualize it—is the first step toward effecting meaningful change, which includes transparency and accountability. Then the chief district attorney must lead from the intersections of interests, ideas, and points of view. Thompson calls this “intersectional leadership” and walks the reader through the practical steps of leading in this way.
