Abstract

A recent report from George Mason University highlights the vulnerability of adolescent suspects during interrogations and the role of defense attorneys in mitigating these vulnerabilities. The study surveyed 137 juvenile defense attorneys and found that most juveniles incriminate themselves before attorneys are involved. Attorneys believe that parents should be allowed to participate in interrogations, although they may be uninformed or unhelpful. The research suggests the need for policy reforms, such as requiring counsel during interrogations and improved training for school administrators and resource officers. [Extracted from the article]
