Summary
In criminal proceedings, interrogation is crucial to establishing facts. But what exactly is an interrogation? The Code of Criminal Procedure provides rules - rights and duties - for interrogations but offers no definition. Consequently it is not clear when these rules are to be observed. On the basis of the history and dogmatics of German criminal procedure as well as findings of forensic psychology, Antje Schumann develops a definition of interrogation which limits the power of the state and safeguards the rights of the person interrogated.
