Why Would They Falsely Confess?
Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most people, it just doesn’t seem logical. But it is logical, say experts. If you understand what can happen in a police interrogation(审讯)room.
Under the right conditions, people’s minds are susceptible(易受影响的)to influence, and the pressure put on suspects during police questioning is enormous. 【B1】______"The pressure is important to understand, because otherwise it’s impossible to understand why someone would say he did something he didn’t do. The answer is: to put all end to an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess. "
Developmental psychologist Mary Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn’t do. 【B2】______The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting "alt" key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility. Redlich’s findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess; 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed. 【B3】______Of the 15-to 16-year-olds, 72 percent signed confessions, as 13-year-olds.
"There’s no question that young people are more at risk," says Saul Kassin, a psychology professor at Williams College, who has done similar studies with similar studies. 【B4】______
Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire "interrogation" in their experiments consisted of a simple accusation—not hours of aggressive questioning—and still, most participants falsely confessed.
【B5】______"In some ways," says Kassin, "false confession becomes a rational decision. "
A. In her experiment, participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the alt key, because doing so would crash the systems.
B. Because of the stress of a police interrogation, they conclude, suspects can become convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation.
C. "It’s a little like somebody’s working on them with a dental(牙齿)drill," .says Franklin Zimring, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
D. "But the baseline is that adults are highly vulnerable too. "
E. The court found him innocent and he was released.
F. Redlich also found that the younger the participant, the more likely a false confession.
