Police informers and agents provocateurs: Accomplices or handmaidens of the law? Perspectives from the courts of eastern and southern africa

7. Conclusion The use of traps as an investigative technique has a long history. Today the police in many jurisdictions are resorting to them more and more to detect particularly complex crimes of an organized nature and, often, of a transnational character. Note should, however, be taken of the fact that the use of traps is not specifically provided for by statute and that it invariably involves violations of the law by those whose function it is to uphold and enforce the law. Moreover, as some of the cases discussed in this essay reveal, the use of traps may be very unfair to the accused to the extent of violating his or her constitutionally protected human rights. The courts have a bounden duty as watchdogs of those rights to be vigilant and to ensure that the police in their fight against crime do not turn into monsters.

Understanding Law as a Democratic Institution Through US Constitutional Development

Gillman, Howard, Mark Graber, and Keith Whittington. 2012 . American Constitutionalism: Volume II: Rights and Liberties . New York: Oxford University Press. This essay reviews Howard Gillman, Mark Graber, and Keith Whittington, American Constitutionalism: Volume I: Structures of Government (New York: Oxford University Press, 2012), and Howard Gillman, Mark Graber, and Keith Whittington, American Constitutionalism: Volume II: Rights and Liberties (New York: Oxford University Press, 2012). It defends developmental approaches in the study of US constitutional law. It explains how law has been studied in political science, illustrating how political development became part of the story. It outlines how American political development approaches work when applied to law, noting how studying law transforms these approaches. It notes the insights produced through the blending of American political development and constitutional law, explaining how these insights provide more leverage for understanding the role of courts as democratic institutions. The essay closes by discussing the promising directions these approaches suggest, defending their value beyond political science.
