interrogation practices
Definition
- Throughout history, from the religious inquisitions and witch hunts of old to modern-day DNA exonerations, interrogations have been a key component of the criminal justice system. The power of the police to interrogate suspects in order to investigate crimes is a crucial tool for their ability to clear cases and thereby protect citizens from further victimization.
