Discretionary power is the element problem needed to be answered in the application of law, but there isn't united and authoritative thesis about it's concept, intention and scope. The thesis will analyze the essence, intension and scope of discretionary power from different angles, so that we can grasp the discretionary power totally and wholly. Then the thesis will analyze the prosecutor's discretionary power and summarize it's concept, five features, and the power scope, which includes non-prosecution, deferring prosecution, plea agreement system, the power of immunity. The theoretical foundation of the prosecutor's discretionary power lays in the prosperous of the doctrine of prosecuting discretion, the inherent defect of legal regulation and system and the pursuance of procedural benefit. There have been always lots of disputes about the scope of the prosecutor's discretionary power .but the essence of discretionary power should be two or more legal schemes can be chosen. According to this, now the prosecutor's discretionary power in our country includes the power of non-prosecution at prosecutor's discretion. This thesis thinks that the doctrine of legal prosecution is the element principle of Chinese criminal procedure and the doctrine of prosecuting discretion is the exception. The prosecutor's discretionary in our country isn't very developed, though in recent years the perfect field has been expanded, which doesn't come from the pressure of procedural efficiency and the general development of the procuratorial system. However, there is also lots of fields which can be reclaimed of the prosecutor's discretionary power in china , which come from three things : the change of the traditional ideas of criminal procedure in our country , the introduce of adversary system , and the rapid development of criminal offended during the Chinese social reform.    The scope of the prosecutor's discretionary power is very wide, but the element and key parts appear in the prosecution phrase. In angle-American law system, the discretionary power is the traditional and inherent power of prosecutors, which scope is very wide and little limited. However, the prosecutor's discretion power in continental law system is finite. What's more, the kind of power is restricted by legal system. The thesis will analyze and compact the two law system, in order to give some enlightenment for the development of our country's prosecutor's discretionary power.    Generally, nowadays the scope of Chinese prosecutor's discretionary power is comparative small, and the variety isn't rich, which can't meet the demands for efficiency and fair of modern criminal procedure. Because of this, many areas have began to break out the legal system and breach of law to attempt to some degree. But owing to being short of united arrange and theoretical guide, these things aren't beneficial to judicial reform. Therefore, it's essential to develop and perfect the prosecutor's discretionary power in our country at now. the thesis will analysis and explore how to perfect our country's prosecutor's discretion power from four parts, which include perfecting the system of non-prosecution, drawing lessons from the plea agreement system, setting up the system of deferring prosecution ,giving to prosecutor the power of immunity .    In addition, as the essential guarantee to the prosecutor's discretionary power, the perfect and development of the supervising and checking system is of vital importance. In the legal countries, the supervising mechanism of prosecutor's discretionary power mainly indicates on three aspects: they are the mechanism of the higher procuratorate's supervision, the judicial review, and the special organization's review. At the same time, every mechanism in different country appears different forms. In accordance with the problem exited in our country's supervising mechanism of prosecutor's discretionary power, the thesis gives three ways from different angles: they are the restriction from right ,Power and procedure.
