- Title
PROTECTING JUVENILES' RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT: DANGERS OF THE THOMPKINS RULE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REFORM.
- Authors
Gottesman, Lauren
- Abstract
The article focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the Court case J.D.B. v. North Carolina regarding an adult's right to remain silent which is provided under Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It suggests that juveniles must be treated differently in custody which will protect their constitutional rights and prevent them from false confessions and wrongful convictions. It informs that the Fifth Amendment provides privilege against self-incrimination as a safeguard to police interrogation. It also discusses the Court case Berghuis v. Thompkins which reports that Thompkins rule should not apply to juveniles under age eighteen.
