Answer to Question 1

There are many strategies that police use to extract confessions. One approach is to
minimize the offense by making excuses on behalf of the suspect. By doing so, the
police can sometimes lull suspects into a false sense of security, such that they expect
leniency and thus become more likely to confess. Another approach is to inform the
suspects that the police have incriminating evidence against them. Through this tactic,
the police try to make suspects believe that it is futile to deny the charges or launch a
defense in court, so they again are more likely to confess. Sometimes, however,
suspects confess to crimes they did not commit. In such cases, these suspects may
have internalized their confessions that is, they come to believe that they are indeed
guilty of the crime. Research suggests that people can be induced to falsely confess,
and to internalize the confession, when they are presented with false evidence that
incriminates them or when they lack a strong memory for the events in question.
