| Research Abstract |
This research examines case laws regarding to admissibility of confessions of vulnerable suspects gained without the presence of 'appropriate adult' (AA). The AA scheme should only be effective, when courts could impose some 'sanctions' against the breaches of the Codes on the police. After introducing and examining of the case laws in England & Wales, this research explores the current situation and problems of case laws in Japan. It end by concluding that courts in Japan has rarely paid serious attention to admissibility of confessions of vulnerable suspects in comparison with England & Wales. The difference between both countries seems to reflect the difference of attitudes toward the preventing false confessions and miscarriages of justice.
