Describe the difference between an admission, a confession, and an adoptive admission

What will be an ideal response?


An admission contains some information concerning the elements of a crime but falls short of a full confession.

A confession is information supporting the elements of a crime given by a person involved in committing it. It can be oral or written and must be voluntary and not given in response to threats, promises, or rewards. It can be taken in question and answer form or in a narrative handwritten by the suspect or the interrogator. A confession, oral or handwritten, must be given of the suspect's free will and not in response to fear, threats, promises, or rewards.

An adoptive admission occurs when someone else makes a statement in a person's presence and under circumstances where it would be logical to expect the person to make a denial if the statement falsely implicated him, but he does not deny the allegations.
