• After reading the Child Forensic Interviewing Best Practicesfrom the U.S. Department of Education and the California Bill Says a 10-Year-Old Cannot Waive Miranda Rights (Links to an external site.) from the Chronicle of Social Change, think about the difference between how we approach interviewing children or the disabled when they are witnesses or victims of a crime and how we currently interview children or the disabled when they are suspected of committing a crime here in California.

SB-1052 Custodial Interrogation: Juveniles (Links to an external site.) passed in both the State Assembly and State Senate but was returned to California Legislature for further action and is still an active bill in progress redesigned as SB-395.

There is tremendous support and opposition to the this bill.

Supporting the changes are parents who tell the stories of their children being interrogated, provided by community groups like the Albert Cobarrubias Justice Project. What It was Like When My Child Was Interrogated by Police (Links to an external site.)

Opposition to the bill comes from the California Sheriffs Association (Links to an external site.) and California District Attorneys Association (Links to an external site.) who remain firmly opposed.

For this assignment,compose an argument for or against SB-1052 (SB-395) explaining whether you believe children who are suspects in a crime should be afforded the same rights as children who have been victims or witnesses of crime.

This will be an argumentative essay and you will need to investigate the topic, collect, generate and evaluate the evidence provided and establish a position in a concise manner.
