In the article, Kassin (2005) explicates on the interrogation process of accusers in crimes and the psychology behind innocent individuals who falsely “confess” to those crimes. Kassin also explains the results of multiple studies that test the accuracy of police investigators in the pre interrogation interview, the tendency of the accused to waive their Miranda rights, and the likelihood of detectives presuming the suspect’s guilt after the first two prior steps. With such cases such as the…
