Informants are often referred to as "rats" due to the negative connotation associated with betrayal and deceit. The term implies that they are disloyal, similar to how a rat might flee or betray its group for self-preservation. This slang reflects the disdain and mistrust towards those who provide information to authorities about illegal activities, particularly in criminal contexts. The label underscores the perceived dishonor in cooperating with law enforcement against peers or associates.
Rats are rodents. Fancy rats are called rattus norvegicus, and wild rats are called rattus rattus.
A group of rats is called Pack.
The plural form for the noun informant is informants; the plural possessive is informants'.
Informants are sometimes paid. Sometimes they just volunteer information. It varies.
There are several classes of informants, including voluntary informants who provide information willingly, incentivized informants who are motivated by a reward or benefit, coerced informants who provide information under duress or threat, and professional informants who have a career in providing information. Their motives can vary from seeking revenge, personal gain, trying to protect themselves or loved ones, or having a sense of duty to serve justice or expose wrongdoing.
