Abstract | Corrupt relationships between investigators and informers can compromise the integrity of the criminal justice system. Supervision of relationships between individual investigators and individual informers is impeded by lack of transparency in the information transactions. Drawing upon behavioural theory and structural theory approaches to corruption mitigation, this paper identifies a purpose-process-product-people taxonomy of vulnerabilities in relation to informer management. This framework is applied in arguing that dedicated informer handling units and mechanisms are an improvement of traditional investigator-informer relationship management because of the enhanced opportunities for supervising handlers and the reduced opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities in which corruption might otherwise flourish. |
