SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CONDITIONS, FUNCTIONS, AND CONSEQUENCES OF POLICE INTERROGATION USING THE POLICE SYSTEM IN WEST GERMANY AS THE BASIS OF ANALYSIS.

Abstract

POLICE WORK IS SEEN AS A FUNCTION OF STATE POWER AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF SOCIAL REACTION TO DEVIANCE. INTERROGATION IS SEEN AS A SPECIAL VARIETY OF COMMUNICATIVE BEHAVIOR CONCERNING THE NEGOTIATION AND DETERMINATION OF CRIMINAL STATUS. THE STUDY FOUND THIS PROCESS HIGHLY SELECTIVE TO THE DISADVANTAGE OF THE UNDERPRIVILEGED AND POWERLESS. --IN GERMAN, SUMMARY IN ENGLISH
