Evaluation of Miranda waiver capacity
APA handbook of psychology and juvenile justice, pp 467-488
2016
Abstract
The
Miranda
decision has a number of implications for law, policy, and psychological study and practice. In this chapter, we review the history and meaning of the
Miranda
decision, the current status of the law surrounding
Miranda
, and empirical evidence about how well juveniles comprehend the
Miranda
warnings. We then review the process of conducting forensic mental health evaluations of juvenile defendants’ capacities to have waived
Miranda
rights during custodial interrogations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved)
