Abstract

Undercover policing operations are on the increase in the UK and the USA and questions surrounding the judicial and administrative controls of such operations in the field of white collar crime investigations need to be addressed. This paper considers recent case examples involving such methods, looking in particular at recent developments in the law relating to entrapment and agents provocateurs and also at the differing regimes of administrative control in the UK and USA. While some US developments point to a restriction on the scope of undercover operations, the UK courts and European Court of Human Rights have been providing judicial backing to such police methods.
