The vulnerability of juvenile suspects concerns all phases of
proceedings but is probably greatest during interrogations in the
investigation stage. These early interrogations often constitute
the juvenile suspects' first contact with law enforcement
authorities during which they are confronted with many difficult
questions and decisions. Therefore, the juvenile suspect should
already at this stage be provided with an adequate level of
procedural protection. The research project 'Protecting Young
Suspects in Interrogations' underlying this volume, sprung from the
observation that the knowledge of the existing level of procedural
protection of juvenile suspects throughout the European Union is
limited. More specifically, there is very little knowledge of what
actually happens when juvenile suspects are being interrogated. The
research project aims to fill at least part of this gap by shedding
more light on the existing procedural rights for juveniles during
interrogations in five EU Member States representing different
systems of juvenile justice (Belgium, England and Wales, Italy,
Poland and the Netherlands). In doing so, it intends to identify
legal and empirical patterns to improve the effective protection of
the juvenile suspect. The project is a joint effort of Maastricht
University, Warwick University, Antwerp University, Jagiellonian
University and Macerata University in cooperation with Defence for
Children and PLOT Limburg.The present volume contains the results
of the first part of the research project: a legal comparative
study into existing legal procedural safeguards for juvenile
suspects during interrogation in the five selected Member States.
The country reports incorporated in this volume provide for an
in-depth analysis of the existing rules and safeguards applicable
during the interrogation of juvenile suspects. On the basis of
these findings a transversal analysis is carried out in the final
chapter, which is dedicated to the identification of common
patterns with a view to harmonising the systems and improving the
protection of juvenile suspects' rights. Part 2 and 3 of the
research project (empirical research consisting of observations of
recorded interrogations and focus group interviews) and a final
merging of the legal and empirical findings resulting in a proposal
for European minimum rules and best practice on the protection of
juvenile suspects during interrogation will be published in a
separate, second volume ('Interrogating Young Suspects: Procedural
Safeguards from an Empirical Perspective').The book is intended for
academics, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers working in
the area of juvenile justice and interrogation.
