Abstract
The perceived ineffectiveness of traditional reactive policing methods has led to an increasing use of innovative policing strategies. This article looks beyond the rhetoric and examines the true extent of that change in the UK. Focusing on the police use of informers, the article considers the implications for the future development of police/public relations as more proactive and intrusive strategies are utilised by police.
