Criminal interrogation is a process used by law enforcement to question a suspect about a crime. The goal is to gather information, clarify details, and potentially obtain a confession. Interrogations can take place in various settings, such as police stations or during field investigations, and often involve a structured approach to elicit truthful responses. During an interrogation, officers may use various techniques, including building rapport or presenting evidence. The process is guided by legal standards to ensure the rights of the suspect are protected, such as the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney, as outlined in the Miranda rights.
