In the article the authors touch on the risk factors of police interrogation and false confessions among juveniles and young people. Prior research implicated juveniles and young people to be more susceptible of falsely confessing when compared to adults. The study presents ADHD and conduct disorder as major risks factors for false confessions. In a questionnaire, the juvenile participants were asked several questions of whether they ever had a diagnosis of ADHD and if yes are they receiving…

difference in interrogation methods used in the past compared to the more modern method is between the confrontational and non-confrontational methods. Confrontational interrogation, also known as the Reid Technique, is an aggressive way to obtain a confession. It begins by a fact finding interview followed by confrontation, with the police claiming to know the suspect is guilty and sometimes lying about evidence (Brean). After a battery of accusations and stressful psychological techniques…

Here, police force confessions from suspects by taking advantage of everything they can control. As a matter of fact, in 1931, a presidential committee called the Wickersham Commission reported cases of police brutality in the interrogation room a myriad of times. Specifically, the use of whips, rubber hoses, and clubs have been used by police officers to induce confessions. However, whether it is a concentrated light shone upon you or long hours…

Given our egocentric and appetitive nature, human beings inherently seek lifestyles that satisfy bodily desires. According to Saint Augustine’s Confessions, the importance of the encounter with the drunken beggar in Milan is to highlight that seeking bodily desires, a derivative of sin, inevitably constitutes desolation that can only be resolved through seeking God’s grace. Boiling in a state of anxiety and unhappiness as a result of his materialistic desires, Augustine finds himself faced with…

The Petrine confession at 8:29 is a turning point in the life of the disciples’ walk with Jesus as it solves their problem of Jesus’ identity raised at 4:41; ‘Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him? He is the Christ! However, the problem of understanding Jesus’ mission now emerges and it is this problem that we shall concentrate on from 8:31:10:45. There are three subsequent points that demonstrate Jesus’ appreciation of the disciples’ progress in their walk with him after…

With such cases such as the five falsely accused teenage boys who “confessed” to the rape of women in Central Park to Michael Crowe who was coerced into admitting of killing of his younger sister, it is disturbing when defendants do retract their confessions, they are convicted and…

St Augustine’s the Confessions is one of the greatest autobiographical work of the middle ages. As St Augustine confessed his sins to god, he shed light on late fourth century Roman Empire, especially everyday life. St Augustine outlined exactly how a boy would be raised and experience life in the Roman Empire from birth to death. Almost exactly like that of a boy in the modern age with similar desires and hopes as St. Augustine; while he challenged to be a good Christian all his life. In the…

In Augustine Confession he declares that in God, evil, and eternity; without these then there would be nothing.

There are two different types which is the reason for philosophy and theology. Theology is mainly about love, faith, and religion. Philosophy is about reason through science than faith in God. This section was about conversion and also his conversion…

I found Saint Augustine’s conversion story very relatable in the fact that there was a seed planted early on by his mother which laid dormant until philosophy activated its growth. In the Confessions, Augustine remarks several times that his mother had always been leading him on the path of Catholicism, even when he didn’t realize it: sometimes in teaching him certain morals, other times by exemplary and virtuous action on her part. He ended up, of course, falling in with the Manicheans in his…
