Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the application of covert technical and tactical measures in criminal investigations in Albania and Kosovo, emphasizing their effectiveness, adherence to legal standards, and respect for human rights. By comparing both countries’ approaches, the study evaluates the role of these measures in combating organized crime while safeguarding individual privacy and aligning with international norms.A structured questionnaire was administered to 50 citizens in Albania and Kosovo, assessing perceptions of the effectiveness, legality, human rights implications, and technological adaptability of covert investigative tools. Likert-scale questions provided a broad understanding of public sentiment. The findings indicate that most respondents perceive these measures as effective, particularly against organized crime. However, concerns about judicial oversight, privacy protection, and compliance with international human rights standards persist. Enhancing legal frameworks, transparency, and data security could improve public trust and the overall efficacy of these measures.
