{"product_id":"mr-big-kouri-t-keenan-9781552663769","title":"Mr. Big: Exposing Undercover Investigations in Canada","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kouri T.
