Prosecutors, like any criminal justice professional, should be monitored and held accountable for their conduct and response to violence against women. Oversight can take a number of forms, both formal and informal structures, as well as internal and external mechanisms. Oversight is often equated with supervision in the sense of being a general review of institutional performance with particular attention to failures to carry out mandates, to preserve the institution’s integrity and credibility and counter inefficiency and poor productivity. It can be done by way of audits, evaluations, monitoring, inspection and investigations.
