Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Methods of Obtaining Confessions and Information From Persons Accused of Crime: Presented at the Fifty-First Congress of the American Prison Association, Jacksonville, Florida, 1921 If a confession be free and voluntary; if it appear to proceed merely from a sense of guilt, and not from the influence of hope or fear in any degree, it is competent. But if the confession be the result of hope or fear, induced or excited by a person having power over the prisoner, it becomes incompetent. It is the general practice throughout the United States for police officers or prosecuting attorneys (usually the former), immediately upon the arrest of a suspect and before the formal inquiry of a magistrate, to undertake an informal investigation for the purpose of procuring a confession of crime or such information as will make it possible to secure a conviction. There are three possible sources of information with reference to such investigations: the public press, which frequently publishes what purport to be accounts of the practice of the third degree; individuals who have been subjected to such examinations, and public officers - prosecuting attorneys, chiefs of police, and detectives who are accustomed to conduct these preliminary investigations. On careful consideration, however, it appeared that the most promising source of information would be the sworn officers of the law who are accustomed to conduct such investigations. Accordingly, a questionnaire was prepared and was sent out to the prosecuting attorney and the chief of police in each of 100 of the larger cities of the United States. Sixty-six replies were received from 28 district or prosecuting attorneys and 38 chiefs of police, covering 51 cities in 27 states.
