BBC Radio 4's Law in Action was broadcast on Tuesday, 25 July, 2006 at 1600 BST.

The Crown Prosecution Service is under a fierce public spotlight after its decision not to prosecute individuals involved in the shooting of Jean Charles De Menezes.

The CPS is also having to cope with a raft of new criminal justice legislation and promises of more to come.

Ken Macdonald QC, who heads the CPS, joins Clive Coleman live.
