商品簡介
Given the current concentration on terrorism and recently relaxed rules on agency secrecy, Billingsley (Metropolitan Police Service Covert Policing Standards Unit, London) introduces readers to the world of police informers and other high-risk intelligence sources. Largely in European contexts, UK and US contributors to ten chapters discuss legal and practitioner issues (e.g., informers' rights), as well as future directions in risk management (including training for "enhanced cognitive" as vs. standard interviews with informants).
