NSU presents Dr. Richard Rogers

Published: 2016-03-28

(Broken Arrow, Okla.)-- The Northeastern State University Department of Criminal Justice, Legal Studies, and Homeland Security will be hosting guest lecturer Dr. Richard Rogers, professor of Psychology at University of North Texas, as he presents What Do We Get Wrong About Our Miranda Rights? on April 6, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. in the Administrative Services Auditorium on the Broken Arrow campus. The lecture is free and open to the public. NSU jazz ensemble will perform during a meet and greet afterwards. Refreshments will be made available.

Dr. John Clark, professor and chair of the Department of Criminal Justice, Legal Studies and Homeland Security, stated that Rogers is the most recognized researcher in the world on the Miranda rights and NSU is truly fortunate to have him coming to campus to share his knowledge.

Rogers is nationally recognized for his contribution to forensic psychology and psychiatry with national awards including the Manfred S. Guttmacher Award from the American Psychiatric Association, Distinguished Contributions to Forensic Psychology Award from the American Academy of Forensic Psychologists, and the Amicus Award from the American Academy of Psychiatry and Law. His contribution to clinical psychology and the discipline of psychology have also been commended.

Rogers is also a writer with more than 190 refereed articles and seven books focused on clinical and forensic practice. He also developed and validated four psychological measures that are published by Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc. He is well regarded as a teacher and recently completed a decade of support from National Science Foundation as a principal investigator examining Miranda warnings and waivers.

The utility of the Miranda warning is still debated and misunderstood by society and citizens are unable to truly understand the seriousness of silence, Clark said.

Rogers lecture will cover the myths, mistakes and misunderstandings that many people have about Miranda rights. There will be an opportunity to discuss how insights stack up against research on criminal offenders and how these Miranda misunderstandings lead to serious legal concerns.
