Which COMPETENCY was used to compose this question?

A man was arrested for committing crimes based on circumstantial evidence and a witness identification. During a two-hour interrogation, he confessed and signed a written confession without first being told he had the right to an attorney and to remain silent. The decision in this case mandated that police must inform suspects of their rights before questioning them while in custody. The decision also affirmed the right to have an attorney present during interrogation, and if a suspect cannot afford one, an attorney must be appointed.
