For an overview, see the
pages on Miranda in the U.S. Courts' materials for schools.
Here are some of our recent books on confessions:
- Richard Rogers & Eric York Drogin, Mirandized Statements: Successfully Navigating the Legal and Psychological Issues (2014) (ABA)
- Barry C. Feld, Kids, Cops, and Confessions Inside the Interrogation Room (2012) (e-book)
- Lawrence S. Wrightsman & Mary L. Pitman, The Miranda Ruling: Its Past, Present, and Future (2012)
- Alan M. Goldstein & Naomi E. Sevin Goldstein, Evaluating Capacity to Waive Miranda Rights (2010)
- Rob Warden & Steven A. Drizin, True Stories of False Confessions (2009)
- Gary L. Stuart, Miranda: The Story of America's Right to Remain Silent (2004) (also available as e-book).
- Richard A. Leo, Police Interrogation and American Justice (2008) (also available as e-book)
As you might imagine,
Miranda has been cited a lot. A whole heck of a lot. KeyCite shows 116,042 citing references, including 59,453 cases and 9,452 secondary sources. Within the secondary sources, there are 6,998 law reviews.
How could you choose which law review articles to start with?
Here's a neat trick in HeinOnline. I searched for articles with
confess* in the title (the asterisk makes the search include variants, like "confessing" and "confessions"). Result: 1,207 items.
I sorted them to show the articles that have been cited the most at the top of the list.
The most cited was
Developments in the Law: Confessions, 79 Harv. L. Rev. 935 (1966),
a big survey (nearly 200 pages!) published in March 1966, three months before the Supreme Court decided
Miranda.
Next are a couple of works looking at false confessions: Steven A. Drizin & Richard A. Leo,
The Problem of False Confessions in the Post-DNA World, 82 N.C. L. Rev. 891 (2004); Richard A. Leo & Richard J. Ofshe,
Consequences of False Confessions: Deprivations of Liberty and Miscarriages of Justice in the Age of Psychological Interrogation, 88 J. Crim. L. & Criminology 429 (1998).
If you want to know the latest developments, you can sort to see the most recent article first: John C. Sheldon,
Common Sense and the Law of Voluntary Confessions: An Essay, 68 Me. L. Rev. 119 (2016).
Searching for "confess*" in the title was very simple. You can put together more complex searches, too. E.g., if you search for "McMurtrie" as an author and "false" within five words of "confession*" in the text, you'll find
Jacqueline McMurtrie,
The Role of the Social Sciences in Preventing Wrongful Convictions, 42 Am. Crim. L. Rev. 1271 (2005).
You catch headlines about refugees all the time, but maybe you'd like a little more depth and analysis. Check out Forced Migration Review, published by Oxford University's Refugee Studies Centre. Forced Migration Review "presents
concise, accessible articles in a magazine format. Each issue has a
feature theme and, usually, a range of general articles on forced
migration. FMR is published in English, French, Spanish and Arabic (and
occasionally in additional languages), and is available free of charge
in print and online."
For you, a cold soda might be a refreshing drink or a mild vice (or a little of both). But there's a much bigger picture. Sugar-sweetened beverages are a huge global industry with equally large impacts on global health, as explored in a new study from coauthored by affiliate professor Allyn Taylor, Carbonating the World: The Marketing and Health Impact of Sugar Drinks in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (Center for Science in the Public Interest, 2016). Summaries (in English, Spanish, and Portuguese) are here.
