Sažetak: U današnje vreme, specifični načini reagovanja na organizovani kriminal su prikrivene operacije koje su, kao mera prikrivene istrage, veoma važan oblik pravnih i kriminalističkih akcija. Najefikasniji metod u tom smislu je angažovanje prikrivenog islednika. Uspeh misije agenta na tajnom zadatku sastoji se u adekvatnom planiranju u svim fazama angažovanja, a delovanje agenta može da spreči buduća krivična dela koja se planiraju od strane osumnjičenih, odnosno članova kriminalnih organizacija. Predmet istraživanja ovog rada sastoji se u krivičnoprocesnoj analizi prikrivenog islednika u zakonodavstvu Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i Velike Britanije. Cilj rada je da se uporednom analizom zakonskih okvira angažovanja prikrivenog islednika u dva kompatibilna pravna sistema uoče elementi koji čine razliku između ovih modela i zakonskog rešenja u Republici Srbiji. U zaključnim razmatranjima autori ukazuju na prednosti i mane uočenih razlika.
