Abstract
ABSTRACT Police interrogation, as a means of criminal investigation, is based on discursive interactions and serves the purpose of truth-seeking and information gathering. In China’s criminal justice system, many police officers believe that confessions are more persuasive than other forms of incriminating evidence and can help increase the success rate of criminal prosecutions. As such, when interviewing suspects, officers do not always seek information but rather aim to obtain confessions. Using transcripts from police interrogations as data, this research examines the accusatorial interrogation model in China. It focuses on language to explore the dynamics of power in police interrogations and police culture in China.
