Coerced Confessions: the Discourse of Bilingual Police Interrogations (Language, Power, and Social Process) 1st edition
Susan Berk-seligson
The book presents a discourse analysis of police interrogations involving U. S. Hispanic suspects accused of crimes. The study is unique in that it concentrates on interrogations involving suspects whose first language is not English and police officers who have a rudimentary knowledge of Spanish. The volume examines the pitfalls of using police officers as interpreters at custodial interrogations.
