      abstract = {Synopsis:  Where did Miranda go wrong? The purpose of this  book is to identify and describe four problems with the  implementation of the Miranda decision and to suggest  remedies in order to have it achieve its original purpose.  The four problems identified in the book are:  1. The  justices, in placing restrictions of the questioning of  suspects, limited these rights only to those suspects who  were "in custody." The term "in custody" is vague-legally  vague as well as vague to the layperson. It permits the  police to question suspects without giving them their  Miranda rights in those settings where it is unclear  whether custody is present. 2. The Miranda warnings may not  be fully understood by many suspects. There is no  country-wide standardization of what is said; there are  literally thousands of different versions of "the" Miranda  warnings in use by different police departments in the  United States. 3. Police training manuals, while  recognizing the right to a "Miranda warning," have  developed many ways to circumvent giving the warnings or  ignoring a response in which a suspect does decide to  remain silent or ask for an attorney. 4. In the 40 years  since the Miranda law was established, the Supreme Court  and lower courts have made decisions eroding their  application. Can the original goal of the authors of the  Miranda law be salvaged? This book examines the state of  interrogations and the state of the law before the Miranda  decision was made, the purposes and nature of the decision,  and proposes recommendations for reinstituting the original  goals.},
