Coercive Interrogation & False Conviction

The Thin Line Between Truth and Deception

In the dimly lit room, the air is thick with tension. A suspect sits across from an interrogator, the weight of the situation pressing down on them. ​ The interrogator leans in, their voice calm yet insistent, weaving a narrative that seems plausible, even inevitable. The suspect, exhausted and vulnerable, begins to question their own memory, their own truth. ​ What follows is a confession—a moment that will change their life forever. But is it the truth, or a product of coercion? ​ This book delves into the complex and often controversial world of interrogations and false confessions, exploring the techniques, psychology, and consequences of a system that walks a fine line between justice and injustice.
