Criminal proceedings can be initiated by various entities, primarily by the prosecution, which may include government attorneys or district attorneys representing the state or federal government. Additionally, private individuals can sometimes initiate proceedings through a complaint or by filing a criminal complaint with law enforcement. In some jurisdictions, victims of crimes may also play a role in bringing attention to the offense, prompting an investigation and potential prosecution. Ultimately, the decision to formally charge an individual typically rests with the prosecution.
