Guilty people are generally reluctant to confess to their crimes; which makes it hard to comprehend as to why an innocent person may actually do so. In this podcast, Saul Kassin, PhD gives a psychological insight into the problem of false confessions and the common threads seen in the interrogations that may have caused them. Kassin shared some of these insights at the 2018 International Association of Interviewers, Elite Training Day Conference in Chicago, IL. This episode contains essential takeaways for interviewers from both the private and public sector on how they can mitigate risk, while focusing on identifying the truth in their investigations.
