520 |a The police rely heavily on paid and unpaid informers: without them clear-up rates would plummet, and many crimes would remain undetected. Yet little is known about the informer system and how it works, for example: who are these informers? how are they recruited? how are they handled? who handles them? what sort of information do they provide? The first book of its kind on informers in Britain, providing an invaluable source of information and analysis from key authorities in the field 
520 |a <P>This is the first book of its kind on informers in Britain, addressing a series of key questions about informers and the informer system. As such, it is essential reading for professionals, academics and students with an interest in informers and the broader issues surrounding their use.</P>
