abstract | This paper derives from the fieldwork experiences of Camille Claeys, a female PhD student, doing ethnographic research in the field of police interrogations of juvenile delinquents, and the discussions with her supervisors Els Dumortier and Sofie De Kimpe. As there has only been a small-scale empirical research in Belgium on how police interrogates juvenile offenders in daily practice, we want to discover through ethnography (more specifically observations and complementary interviews with the police interrogators) how the interrogations are conducted. |
