Therefore, the court have utilized some loophole of Miranda…

Is it time for law enforcement to end their pursuit of fleeing suspects? That is a question that has been asked to communities all over the United States. The answer to that question has been very balanced throughout the different communities. Since the early 2000s most police departments have updated policies on when and how they can pursue a suspect. Which has lowered the amount of time police officers have been involved in high speed pursuits. In San Antonio, Texas it is their policy to not…

This suggests that the actual victim is more psychologically or emotionally involved in the incident, therefore they potentially process the information more accurately and at a higher level (Behrman and Davey, 2001). Another factor that affects the identification of a suspect is own-race recognition bias. Research suggests that an African American witness will positively identify an African American suspect more…

interrogation is when someone examines a suspect by questioning them formally. The biggest difference in interrogation methods used in the past compared to the more modern method is between the confrontational and non-confrontational methods.

Since 2012, if a person is “suspected” of terrorism, then he/she will be held indefinitely without trial. I do not believe this to be fair. If there is hard evidence to prove the suspect to be innocent, then I believe the suspect should be allowed a fair trial. If there is no evidence, then the suspect should be held, but still be given a trial in order to…

a presumably guilty suspect out of denial and to admission (Kassin, Leo, Meissner, Richman & Colwell, 2007). With this goal, interrogation techniques are designed to break down a suspect’s resistance and elicit a confession. There are a number of manuals for interrogations that are used, but generally interrogations can be broken down into a two-step process. The investigator first seeks to convince the suspect that there are no other options, and then must convince the suspect that the benefits…

This is a great question in today’s society because America has the highest firearm to owner ratio in the world which means every police officer must be vigilant when confronting suspects.
