  1. Hello everyone. My name is Amanda Harris sick.
  2. And for my final project,
  3. I have decided to research how investigators are interrogating juveniles.
  4. I was surprised to find that most investigators are interrogating juveniles the
  5. same way as adults and that they are using the Reid technique.
  6. I discovered that there was a little to
  7. no training on how to interrogate juvenile separately.
  8. So the re technique and other
  9. interrogation styles exploits juveniles vulnerabilities and
  10. puts them at higher risk of waiving their rights and falsely confessing
  11. some problems that investigators should be aware of
  12. is that the juveniles brain
  13. is not fully developed
  14. and it impacts how they make decisions.
  15. In addition, juveniles seem to struggle with understanding their Miranda rights
  16. and let's be real.
  17. Most adults struggle with this as well.
  18. Mostly juveniles are not aware of how waiving the
  19. rights would impact the rest of their lives.
  20. These two factors make juveniles more prone to confess
  21. falsely juveniles are more likely to be compliant with authority
  22. and thus the combination of the investigator using the Reid technique
  23. such as refusing the suspect to break, puts a juvenile
  24. at more risk of falsely confessing.
  25. If you have some extra time.
  26. Here's a ted talk that explains in
  27. greater detail about the interrogation techniques that
  28. police officers are using today and the
  29. problems that juveniles are facing with them.
  30. In addition to that,
  31. here are some questions to think about so you can
  32. empathize with juveniles who are put in this sticky situation.
  33. Lastly, I've developed some
  34. solutions that other researchers have suggested
  35. first
  36. using other interrogation methods such as peace or Hig
  37. as well as doing more research on interrogating juveniles
  38. and possibly coming up with techniques specifically for juveniles.
  39. In addition to this, some
  40. other researchers have suggested mandating a third party,
  41. such as a defense attorney, attorney, a um,
  42. some other adult or an advocate to make sure that the
  43. juvenile is fully aware of their rights to make the proper decision
  44. before waiving their rights and to
  45. um prevent them from falsely confession.
  46. And here are my citations.
  47. So what I found
  48. all in all, thank you guys for listening to my presentation.
  49. Have a nice day.
