Financial pinches lead to willing snitches

The economic wizard behind Wallstreetfighter.com has some interesting analysis of the money behind snitching. The New York Times recently noted that as the economy lags along, calls to crime tip hotlines have gone up.

Not easy work, with plenty of job-related hazards.
