Reducing Risks: An Executive’s Guide to Effective Juvenile Interview and Interrogation
Thursday, September 27, 2012
The juvenile interview and interrogation landscape is undergoing an unprecedented upheaval. Over the past decade, numerous studies have demonstrated that juveniles are particularly likely to give false information – and even falsely confess – when questioned by law enforcement. Based on this research, court decisions, including key recent decisions by the Supreme Court, are leading police to question juveniles differently than adults.
IACP has just launched a new publication titled Reducing Risks: An Executive’s Guide to Effective Juvenile Interview and Interrogation. This publication is targeted to law enforcement and includes recommended best practices, information on recent research and key cases affecting law enforcement, and sample documents departments can tweak for their own jurisdictions.
This publication is restricted to law enforcement only. Agencies can request electronic copies at http://www.theiacp.org/reducingrisks. If you would like to learn more about the resources available through the Improving Law Enforcement Responses to Youth Training and Technical Assistance Program, visit http://www.iacpyouth.org or e-mail juvenilejustice@theiacp.org.
