Deferred prosecution. A deferred prosecution agreement (DPA), which is very similar to a non-prosecution agreement (NPA),[1] is a voluntary alternative to adjudication in which a prosecutor agrees to grant amnesty in exchange for the defendant agreeing to fulfill certain requirements.
A case of corporate fraud, for instance, might be settled by means of a deferred-prosecution agreement in which the defendant agrees to pay fines, implement corporate reforms, and fully cooperate with the investigation. Fulfillment of the specified requirements will then result in dismissal of the charges.[2] United States[edit] According to Rachel Barkow and Anthony Barkow, both of NYU Law School,[7] there has been a dramatic increase in the use of DPAs and NPAs by federal prosecutors, increasing from eleven between 1993 and 2001, to 23 between 2002 and 2005, to 66 between 2006 and 2008.

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.
The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed someone who told a man to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally. RICO was enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Pub.L. 91–452, 84 Stat. 922, enacted October 15, 1970).
