In most jurisdictions, crimes are set out through the government (society as a whole) in statutes. Crimes, alleged or otherwise are not just committed against the victims but also against society as a whole (generally represented by the government). Therefore, the prosecution of crime should be done by the government. This ensures uniformity of prosecutorial policy and public scrutiny.

Is it in the public interest for the CPS to bring the case to court? A prosecution will usually take place unless the public interest factors against prosecution clearly outweigh those in favour of prosecution
