Definitions Better Than Webster’s: Interrogation

Written By: Elsie Law - Jul• 10•14

Interrogation:
“The goal of any interrogation, by definition, is to elicit a confession from a guilty party, not to investigate the truth of a denial. The common tactics used to gain confessions are based on the idea that only guilty people are interrogated in the first place…Once they decide they are speaking with a guilty party the interrogation begins. Detectives often believe that they are experts at separating truth from lies, but studies have shown that this is a false confidence.” -From, “The Central Park Five” By: Sarah Burns
