Does everyone understand the Miranda warning? How well can people recognize a voice on tape? Can linguistic experts identify who wrote an anonymous threatening letter? Speaking of Crime answers these questions and examines the complex role of language within our criminal justice system. Lawrence M. Solan and Peter M. Tiersma compile numerous cases, ranging from the Lindbergh kidnapping to the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton to the JonBenét Ramsey case, that provide real-life examples of how language functions in arrests, investigations, interrogations, confessions, and trials. In a clear and accessible style, Solan and Tiersma show how recent advances in the study of language can aid in understanding how legal problems arise and how they might be solved. With compelling discussions current issues and controversies, this book is a provocative state-of-the-art survey that will be of enormous value to legal scholars and professionals throughout the criminal justice system. 410 0$aChicago series in law and society. 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of$zUnited States$xLanguage 606 $aCriminal law$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of$xLanguage. 615 0$aCriminal law 676 $a345.73/05/014 700 $aSolan$b Lawrence$f1952-$0890507 701 $aTiersma$b Peter Meijes$0890508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458896003321 996 $aSpeaking of crime$91989204 997 $aUNINA
