Yes:
> Commonly used interrogation tactics, such as promising leniency or insinuating that incriminating evidence exists, are banned for suspects under 18 years old under the new law, which goes into effect Jan. 1.
- PeterisP 5y agoWhy wouldn't they just ban those particular things for all suspects, not just for minors?
- Miner49er 5y agoResearch shows that children are especially susceptible to being lied to in interrogations. I imagine limiting the ban to minors was a compromise from negotiating with police and attorney organizations and pro-police lawmakers.
- emteycz 5y agoWhat's the purpose of your question? It's apparent they went out of their way to limit this to minors - so the reason is they want to have the ability to lie to adults. Probably 'because it helps fight crime' or something.
