Definition of self-inculpation
Definition: Self-inculpation is the act of admitting one's own involvement in a crime or exposing oneself to prosecution by making a statement.
For example, if a person confesses to committing a crime, they are engaging in self-inculpation. Another example is if a person provides information that could be used against them in a criminal case, they are also engaging in self-inculpation.
The right against self-incrimination is an important legal protection that allows individuals to avoid self-inculpation. This means that a person cannot be forced to testify against themselves in a criminal case.
