Abstract
Juvenile interrogations are interviews conducted by law
enforcement officers when a youth is suspected of being involved in
a crime. Parents do not have to be notified if authorities are
questioning their children. They also do not need to be notified if
they are witnesses or suspects to a crime. Often, this delays parents'
time in speaking on behalf of their child. Additionally, studies show
many youths are willing to give up their right to remain silent due to
a lack of awareness of the seriousness of the situation. Educating
youth and their parents with programs directed towards youth rights
is essential to empower families to advocate for their youth.
Additionally, communities can offer public assistance in the form of
educational campaigns. Law enforcement agencies should require
ongoing training regarding youth devel
