Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...] informants are not typically paid police agents in theWest; people report suspicious activity not as a source of income, and not as part as a long-term undercover role, but sometimes as a one-off act of solidarity with other members of a population facing common threats. [...] universitybased researchers interested in radicalization may appear to some members of some communities to belong as much to the establishment apparatus as judges. Because the potential benefits of trust for counter-terrorism are as great as the moral risks of secret surveillance, there may be much to commend the European Union's approach to prevention.
