61. Discuss three suggested reforms aimed at reducing false confessions.
ANSWER:
Three major reforms have been suggested:
1. Research shows that prolonged custody and interrogation can cause suspects to confess to
crimes they did not commit in order to end the process. There are no rules that regulate the
length of time for interrogation. Reducing that time would help contribute to reducing the
false confession problem.
2. SCOTUS ruled that police may use misrepresentations to a suspect during the
interrogation. However, research suggests that this practice substantially increases false
confessions. SCOTUS should reconsider its position, based on recent empirical studies.
3. Videotaping interrogations and confessions is an idea that has been around for several
decades, but very few states have laws that require it. Videotaping would not only eliminate
some of the secrecy that surrounds interrogating suspects, it would also help judges, juries,
and attorneys better evaluate the interrogation procedure.

examples for each type of situation.
ANSWER:
Researchers divide proven false confessions into three categories:
1. voluntary false confessions
Some innocent people confess without police prompting or pressure. Innocent people confess
because of: (1) a desire for notoriety; (2) a need for self-punishment to remove guilt feelings;
(3) an inability to separate reality from fantasy; and (4) a desire to help and protect the real

63. Define the historic phrase “witness against himself.” Give examples of the types of things that are included and not
included within the definition.
ANSWER:
The Fifth Amendment provides that, in a criminal case, a person cannot be compelled to be a
“witness against himself.” This essentially means that the government cannot force someone
to give evidence of a testimonial or a communicative nature. Testimony is the content of
things a person says or writes. However, the government can compel citizens to provide other
information. When this information is not testimonial or communicative but is, rather, of a
physical nature or a communication that the person has voluntarily put in writing, obtaining it
does not violate the Fifth Amendment. Thus, the following types of incriminating evidence
would not be protected by the Fifth Amendment: handwriting samples, weapons,
photographs, lineup appearances, voice samples, blood samples, and documents required to
be kept by law or voluntarily created.
This is one example of a correct answer, others may apply.

two circumstances that have to be present before officers are required to give the Miranda warnings. List three types of
questioning for which officers do not have to give the Miranda warnings.
ANSWER:
The bright-line rule of Miranda v. Arizona arose because the Court felt custodial
interrogation is “inherently coercive.” Why? Firstly, because suspects are held in strange
surroundings where they are not free to leave or to call for support from others. Secondly,
skilled police officers often use tricks, lies, and psychological pressure to overpower the will
of the suspects. Given these circumstances, the Court felt that strong measures were
Police don’t have to give Miranda warnings when they question people who are not in
custody. This includes questioning people at crime scenes, questioning people before they
become suspects, and questioning people who are in Fourth Amendment stops.

65. State the facts of the SCOTUS case New York v. Quarles, and explain its significance.
ANSWER:
The facts of the case are simple. A woman came up to two police officers and told them she
had been raped by a man carrying a gun, who had just gone into a supermarket nearby. One
officer ran to the store and saw a man (Benjamin Quarles) who fit the woman’s description.
This officer briefly lost sight of Quarles, then saw him again, pulled his own gun, and
ordered Quarles to stop and put his hands over his head. The officer then frisked Quarles and
discovered an empty shoulder holster. After handcuffing Quarles, the officer asked him
where the gun was. Nodding to some nearby cartons, Quarles said, “the gun’s over there.”
Among the cartons, the officer found a loaded revolver.
New York v. Quarles created what is known as the “public safety” exception to Miranda v.
Arizona. This exception declares that if giving the Miranda warning to a suspect before
questioning would endanger an officer or somebody nearby, the officer can dispense with the
warning before interrogation starts.
