Only for specific crimes, IIRC. Surely you can decide for yourself if you press charges or not on a break-in or a theft (sometimes such cases are just a case of misunderstanding, etc, so people can just work it out and nobody needs to go to court) I think murder or assault is out of your hands, as it's considered in the public's interest to prosecute such crimes.
