Richard A. Leo (University of San Francisco) has posted The Decision to Confess Falsely Twenty-Five Years Later: Windows and Walls in Empirical Psychological and Legal Scholarship (Denver Law Review, Vol. 100, No. 3, 2023) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
In this article, I discuss how the 1997 article The Decision to Confess Falsely: Rational Choice and Irrational Action broke new ground in the social scientific study of police interrogation influence and suspect decision-making, psychological coercion and false confessions. I also discuss the importance of this article for future empirical and social scientific research on the psychology and effects of police interrogation practices, as well as the prevention of wrongful convictions based on false confession evidence.
