The Politics of Prosecution Podcast examines the relationship between politics, broadly defined, and local, state, and federal prosecution. Politics is the use and distribution of power. Criminal prosecution is the government's coercive use of that power. Therefore, we must understand the relationship between politics and prosecution. This podcast does so in a non-partisan and interdisciplinary manner. We hope to contribute to the academic and public discourse on the subject.

Politics of Prosecution, Series 1, Ep 23; The CFAA
Welcome back to the Politics of Prosecution Podcast! This podcast examines the interaction between politics, broadly defined, and criminal prosecution on the local, state and federal levels. Our goal is to produce a variety of shows using different media. The podcast’s first series is created and produced by students in High Point University’s Honors Program. They will look at a variety of issues raised by ongoing events. In the twenty-third episode of the first series, the hosts introduce the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in a dicussion of how malleable laws increase prosecutotial discretion and power. The hosts examine prior court cases where the CFAA was charged, including United States v Rodriguez (2010), John v United States (2013), United States v Valle (2015), and United States v Nosal (2017). Additionally, the hosts analyze the possible outcomes and inplications of Van Buren v United States, the first case involving the CFAA that will go before the Supreme Court. Finally, the hosts consider how the CFAA can be improved and how the CFAA could limit prosecutorial discretion.

Politics of Prosecution, Series 1, Ep 21: Justice and Media
Welcome back to the Politics of Prosecution Podcast! This podcast examines the interaction between politics, broadly defined, and criminal prosecution on the local, state and federal levels. Our goal is to produce a variety of shows using different media. The podcast’s first series is created and produced by students in High Point University’s Honors Program. They will look at a variety of issues raised by ongoing events. The twenty-first episode of the first series examines the interaction between politics, broadly defined, and criminal prosecution on the local, state, and federal levels. Our goal is to produce a variety of shows using different media. On October 19, 2020, the Department of Justice held a press conference to announce the indictment of 6 Russian hackers. The facts of the case are briefly outlined. We use this specific case and press conference to frame a discussion about the relationship between prosecutors and the media. Specifically, we examine if the relationship between the media is prosecutors is positive or negative and is the media an effect check on prosecutorial power.
