The Psychology of False Confessions: Why Innocent People Admit Guilt
Join host Lazaro in this very short episode of Objection: Psychology! where we discuss False Confessions.
False Confessions are a puzzling and tragic phenomenon where innocent individuals admit to crimes they didn't committ. This episode explores the psychological mechanisms that go behind false confessions, how interrogation tactics contribute to them, and what this means for the justice system as a whole! We dive into key research, real-life cases, and the interplay between stress, compliance and memory distortion.
More episodes are coming soon, reach out if you have any suggestions or feedback at my email below!
Stay curious, stay critical, and as always... Objection sustained!
