You are the lieutenant in the detective bureau, and your chief has requested that you consider using a sting operation to help combat the growing crime problem in your city. Research the topic, including what other agencies have done, which crimes they have targeted in this way, and whether or not the operations were successful. You may want to start with government websites (such as the Department of Justice and the NCJRS) to research any publications they have on stings, as well as state sites or even law enforcement agencies that have used sting operations successfully.
