Snitching

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Alexandra Natapoff, Professor of Law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, argues that the consequences of snitching—police and prosecutors offering deals to criminal offenders in exchange for information—aren’t always positive. Her book Snitching: Criminal Informants and the Erosion of American Justice is a comprehensive analysis of this common practice, and looks at how it affects the legal system, policing, and communities.

Event: Alexandra Natapoff will be speaking
Wednesday, December 2, at 6:15 pm
