CRIMINALISTIC ASPECTS OF ENGAGEMENT OF THE UNDERCOVER AGENT

Summary/Abstract: Reason for writing and research problem(s): One of the basic requirements of successful and relatively harmonious functioning of every society is the suppression of criminality. As a necessity, there is also the need for engaging a undercover agent. Engaging a undercover agent involves a wide range of time-coordinated activities. For this reason, the paper analyzes the activities that are based on the selection of a person who will be engaged as a undercover agent, through his actions in an organized criminal group, to the interruption of the task and his “pulling out” from the milieu he was in. Aims of the paper (scientific and/ or social): The most important goal of the paper that is trying to achieve is to point out the correct and comprehensive overview of the essence of the criminalistic aspects of the engagement of the undercover agent, bearing in mind the inescapable importance and complexity of the subject in matter. In this way, the work should provide some practical and very useful recommendations for the treatment of persons engaged in the capacity of a undercover agent. Also, the analysis and criticism of certain theoretical aspects of the subject of this paper should lead to the resolution of certain theoretical problems and illogicality. Methodology/Design: Methodologically, the author used analysis, synthesis, abstraction, general theoretical approach, and to a certain extent generalization, of course to the extent that generalization is acceptable when it comes to the subject matter of the paper. A large part of the exposition in the paper is of a descriptive character. More precisely speaking, describing possible practical situations is in the function of easier understanding of the essence of the topic. Theoretical analyzes are given only to individual classifications and analysis of the perception of certain authors on certain issues. Research/Paper limitation: The basic limitation of paper is that the paper is the result of purely theoretical reflections and analysis of author based on theoretical perceptions and attitudes, on the one hand, and practical experiences of individuals who were engaged as a undercover agent on the other. Therefore, the limitation is reflected in the fact that the author of this paper has no practical experience in this regard which could qualitatively considerably contribute to the work. One limitation of his paper is also reflected in the impossibility of achieving a greater degree of generalization of given recommendations, which is a consequence of a marked differentiation of practice.
