Abstract This lecture given at Birmingham City University School of Law, March 21, 2019 considers the origins of the right to silence in the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the United States and compares the constitutional protections against self-incrimination with those of the United Kingdom. It notes that the effect of the changes introduced by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994 is that there is now a fundamental divergence in approach between the two jurisdictions and concludes that as the twenty first century progresses, defendants on both sides of the Atlantic will be less likely to exercise their rights without consequence and then when they do choose to speak it will be at their peril.

摘要本次演讲于2019年3月21日在伯明翰城市大学法学院举行，它探讨了美国最高法院判例中沉默权的由来，并比较了禁止自我追究权的宪法保护与英国的保护。它指出，1984年《警察和刑事证据法》和1994年《刑事司法和公共秩序法》所引入的变化的结果是，这两个司法管辖区之间现在在方法上存在根本分歧，并得出结论，随着二十世纪的发展，大西洋两岸的被告将不太可能行使其权利而不会产生任何后果，然后当他们选择发言时，这将是他们的危险。
