First published in 1997, Interrogation and Confession has two
important concerns. The first is with the structures and strategies
that have evolved within the criminal justice system not only to
entrench the confession as key item of prosecution evidence but
also to legitimate the custodial interrogation of suspects by law
enforcement personnel. The second major concern is with kinds of
police-suspect encounter that appear in official accounts of
custodial interrogation. Based upon a systematic analysis of
prosecution papers associated with over 650 Crown Court cases, the
author provides vivid and challenging insights into the nature of
police-suspect relations and closely examines: the extent to which
evidence is constructed (rather than elicited); how far formal
rules impact upon the character and form of police-suspect
relations during interrogation; the circumstances in which suspects
elect or decline to cooperate with the police; and the extent to
which records of custodial interrogation can be said to be
complete, accurate and reliable.
