Uses techniques from psychological science and legal theory to
explore police interrogation in the United States Understanding
Police Interrogation provides a single comprehensive source for
understanding issues relating to police interrogation and
confession. It sheds light on the range of factors that may
influence the outcome of the interrogation of a suspect, which ones
make it more likely that a person will confess, and which may also
inadvertently lead to false confessions. There is a significant
psychological component to police interrogations, as interrogators
may try to build rapport with the suspect, or trick them into
thinking there is evidence against them that does not exist. Also
important is the extent to which the interrogator is convinced of
the suspect’s guilt, a factor that has clear ramifications for
today’s debates over treatment of black suspects and other people
of color in the criminal justice system. The volume employs a
totality of the circumstances approach, arguing that a number of
integrated factors, such as the characteristics of the suspect, the
characteristics of the interrogators, interrogation techniques and
location, community perceptions of law enforcement, and
expectations for jurors and judges, all contribute to the nature of
interrogations and the outcomes and perceptions of the criminal
justice system. The authors argue that by drawing on this approach
we can better explain the likelihood of interrogation outcomes,
including true and false confessions, and provide both scholars and
practitioners with a greater understanding of best practices going
forward.
