摘要
This article refers to the function of the Police within the criminal justice systems in various European countries. It focuses on the legal and practical possibilities of the Police to either end criminal cases autonomously or to contribute to the final Public Prosecution Service decisions or at the end of the investigative stage. Normally Police hand on evidentially sufficient cases to the Public Prosecution Service at least at the end of the investigatory stage in all countries. Nevertheless, in almost all countries ways have been found to either legally or factually reduce PPS workload by giving Police some sort of case-ending decisions.
