In Kids, Cops, and Confessions, Feld offers the first report of what actually happens when police question juveniles. Drawing on remarkable data, he analyzes interrogation tapes and transcripts, police reports, juvenile court filings and sentences, and probation and sentencing reports, describing in rich detail what actually happens in the interrogation room.
