A Risky Business: the recruitment and running of informers by English police officers Dunnighan and Norris. Police Studies, vol 19 no 2 1996 pp1-25. Argues that the increased use of informers has not been matched by control mechanisms.

Tale of two cities: drug policy instruments and city networks in the European Union Charles D Kaplan & Ed Leuw. European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research vol 4 no 1 1996 pp74-89.

The new world order of criminal justice: reflections on clientism Alan A Block. European Journal on Criminal Policy and Research vol 4 no 2 1996 pp101-118. Thoughtful article which concludes: "The undeniable failures of the "war on drugs" leads me to conclude that it is not a "first order of political business" though certainly at the centre of political rhetoric.
Controlling the infrastructure of criminal justice in client states such as Bolivia seems more like part of an on-going experiment to test the patron's capacity for low-intensity warfare to train special forces and to perfect high technology surveillance devices on rough terrain rather than anything else."
