Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. After surveying more than 80 cases in which a confession was accepted as evidence in a "Mr. Big" organized crime sting, these legal experts suggest changes in undercover police practices in Canada. "Mr. Big" in these cases is a policeman posing as a criminal kingpin in order to coerce a confession from a suspect, but this study finds that this ruse is most successful when the suspect is from a marginalized group. In addition, police officers sometimes commit criminal offences while undercover-or they fake criminal behavior during the course of the sting-and the pretend `interrogations` are not bounded by normal interview standards. On these grounds, the authors propose that this practice be drastically curtailed. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. "Mr. Big" is a sting operation designed to obtain a confession and other evidence from a suspect targeted by undercover police officers posing as members of the criminal underworld. In a typical scenario, undercover operatives convince the suspects that they are big-time criminals, offer them various amounts of money and other incentives to help make their legal problems go away. In order to evaluate the legitimacy of this police practice, Keenan and Brockman survey over 80 cases of the use of the Mr. Big ruse by police in Canada - and find that this procedure is not as successful as it appears. The authors argue that the Mr. Big procedure encourages a police culture of violence and convictions rather than justice and suggest that this practice must be drastically curtailed if we are to have a legal system that is focused on the pursuit of justice.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Constructing Crime examines the central question: Why do we define and enforce particular behaviours as crimes and target particular individuals as criminals?To answer this question, contributors interrogate notions of crime, processes of criminalization, and the deployment of the concept of crime in five radically different sites - the enforcement of fraud against welfare recipients and physicians, the enforcement of laws against Aboriginal harvesting practices, the perceptions of incivilities or disorder in public housing projects, and the selective criminalization of gambling.By demonstrating that how crime is defined and enforced is connected to social location and status, these interdisciplinary case studies and an afterword by Marie-Andrée Bertrand challenge us to consider just who is rendered criminal and why. This timely volume will appeal to policy makers and students and practitioners of law, criminology, and sociology.…
