Abstract
In Parts I and II, this article will discuss the history of the Miranda waiver standards and cases interpreting those standards as applied to children. In Part III, the article will explore efforts on the state level to establish more protective standards for minors facing police interrogations. Next, in Part IV, for comparative perspective, the article will survey what efforts are being made on the international stage to enhance children's rights during custodial interrogations. Finally, Part V of the article will offer some proposed best practices that acknowledge the vulnerable position of minors in custodial interrogations while also allowing law enforcement to pursue reliable evidence of guilt.
