Bureau of Justice Statistics, Report to the Nation on Crime and Justice, 1998This report reveals that the response to crime is a complex process, involving citizens as well as many agencies, levels, and branches of government. Can a Jury Believe What It Sees? Videotaped Confessions Can Be Misleading, Jennifer L. Mnookin, The New York Times, 2014According to recent research, interrogation recording of criminal suspects may in fact be too vivid and persuasive.
