What suspects tell the police may become a crucial piece of
evidence when the case comes to court. But what happens to 'the
suspect's statement' when it is written down by the police? Based
on a unique set of data from over fifteen years' worth of research,
Martha Komter examines the trajectory of the suspect's statement
from the police interrogation through to the trial. She shows how
the suspect's statement is elicited and written down in the police
report, how this police report both represents and differs from the
original talk in the interrogation, and how it is quoted and
referred to in court. The analyses cover interactions in multiple
settings, with documents that link one interaction to the next,
providing insights into the interactional and documentary
foundations of the criminal process and, more generally, into the
construction, character and uses of documents in institutional
settings.
