Take a position on whether or not it is ethical for investigating officers to attempt to obtain a waiver of Miranda rights. What is your rationale?
o Review the factors listed in Box 6.4 "The Innocence Project" in Chapter 6 of your textbook that contribute to a false confession during a police interrogation. Research a police department (maybe one in your area) and state one method they use to lessen the instances of false confessions. Remember to consider the factors stated by the Innocence Project.
