Subject:single-party recordings in law enforcement investigations of child sexual abuse
Dear Colleagues,
For the Prosecutor's office in Guyana, South America, I am looking for:
1) A copy of state or federal legislation establishing the legality of single=party recording in the investigation of child sexual abuse. In other words, situations where a victim might "wear a wire" and either confront in-person or over the phone his or her abuser and say things that encourage the abuser to admit to the crime (such as, "Can I get pregnant from what we did?")
2) Any articles about or research about or presentations about the same.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you need to know more about the context in which this help is sought: LFontes@uww.umass.edu
Thank you.
