Böcker av Gisli H. Gudjonsson

Provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the development of the science behind the psychology of false confessions Four decades ago, little was known or understood about false confessions and the reasons behind them. So much has changed since then due in part to the diligent work done by Gisli H. Gudjonsson.

Interrogations and confessions are interesting psychological processes because they involve mechanisms of memory, deception, vulnerability, suggestibility and personal interaction. They are also a crucial part of crime investigation, with enormous pressures on both the interrogator and the suspect.
