	'''Deferred Prosecution Agreements''' (DPAs) (and their close cousins, Non-Prosecution Agreements, or NPAs) are contractual arrangements between federal prosecutors and defendants (individuals or, far more commonly, corporations) under which the government agrees to defer or forgo criminal charges in exchange for the defendant’s compliance with a negotiated set of conditions. Although not explicitly authorized by statute, DPAs are grounded in the government’s broad prosecutorial discretion and the Speedy Trial Act’s exclusion of deferred periods (18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(2)). They are governed primarily by the Justice Manual §§ 9-28.000 et seq. and, for corporate cases, the detailed criteria in § 9-28.300 (Principles of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations).<ref>{{cite web \|title=Justice Manual § 9-28.000 – Principles of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations \|url=https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-28000-principles-federal-prosecution-business-organizations \|publisher=U.S. Department of Justice \|date=October 2021, updated 2025 \|access-date=November 24, 2025}}</ref>		'''Deferred Prosecution Agreements''' (DPAs) (and their close cousins, Non-Prosecution Agreements, or NPAs) are contractual arrangements between federal prosecutors and defendants (individuals or, far more commonly, corporations) under which the government agrees to defer or forgo criminal charges in exchange for the defendant’s compliance with a negotiated set of conditions.
