Abstract

The purposes of this chapter are the following: first, to describe what led up to the Miranda v. Arizona decision rendered by the United States Supreme Court in 1966 (that is, to review not only those earlier Supreme Court decisions that dealt with interrogations but also the nature of police questioning at that time); second, to identify the goals of the justices in the Miranda decision; third, to evaluate whether those goals have been achieved; and last, to describe what needs to be done to achieve those goals in light of more recent Supreme Court decisions.
