Criminal or terrorist activity

Reference no: EM133682160

Question

A 'supergrass" is someone who participates in some way in criminal or terrorist activity, reports it to police, and agrees to testify in court against the 'bosses' who planned it or accomplices who participated. Supergrasses are not typical street corner 'snitches.' They are either undercover agents or former 'organization' members who were previously turned by the police in return for immunity from prosecution, witness protection or reduced sentence. How does the use of supergrasses become problematic for the justice system? Do the ends justify the means?
