Individuals detained by police organizations in most Western countries are typically made aware of two legal rights -- the right to silence and right to legal counsel -- prior to being interrogated. Detainees must understand these rights fully; both for their own protection and to ensure any information gained from them is admissible in court. Two programs of research in Canada have examined the comprehension of Canadian police cautions (i.e., passages of text used by police officers to deliver the aforementioned legal rights), as well as ways to modify cautions to make them more comprehensible. The central findings are that police cautions are difficult to understand but that theoretically driven changes to the structure of the cautions can increase comprehensibility dramatically. In general, it is hoped that this research can serve as an example of how psychological science can have a practical impact on this important aspect of investigative interviewing.
