Title: False memory tactics and false confessions
Post by Svengali on Jan 18th, 2015 at 3:58pm
"Most people easy to convince they committed a crime that never happened – study.

With enough personal background information about someone’s past, an interviewer can quite easily manipulate that person into confessing to a crime that he or she did not commit – or which never even happened, alleges a new study."

I wonder how the false memory study outlined below aligns with police interrogation techniques for eliciting confessions from their captives.

http://rt.com/news/223747-false-memory-crime-study/


Quote:
This is the first study of its kind that provides evidence suggesting that “full episodic false memories of committing crime can be generated in a controlled experimental setting,” the paper says.

Out of the 30 students whose “false event” involved some criminal activity, 21 were classified by the authors as having developed a “false memory” of the crime following the interviews. Eleven out of 15 students whose “crime” involved assaults or armed assault described the nature and “details of their exact dealings with police.”

The participants who were classified as having false memories of committing a crime indicated that they had later tried to recall and visualize the false event at home, five times on average, and had “low suspicion that the interviewer was trying to manipulate them somehow.”

“Understanding that these complex false memories exist, and that ‘normal’ individuals can be led to generate them quite easily, is the first step in preventing them from happening,” Shaw concluded. “By empirically demonstrating the harm ‘bad’ interview techniques – those which are known to cause false memories – can cause, we can more readily convince interviewers to avoid them and to use ‘good’ techniques instead.”

Indeed.. police interrogation tactics are first stand over the individual, easy to do when you already hold all the cards and they hold none - then impugn their integrity in answers and control the discussion by never permitting any question or comment from them to pass without attacking it - infer to the individual that they are somehow out of their tree and raise doubt about their personal sanity and where possible claim without any foundation they were either pissed or stoned or just going through a crazy - then explain how reasonable it is that they did indeed murder Johannes Bloggden with a length of undersea pipe still resting on the ocean floor ten miles deep even though they were five hundred miles away at the time..... and have them sign a confession to that effect.

Then watch the same corrupt techniques employed by the prosecuting 'attorney'.. who will blithely bully the defendant on the stand while ensuring that any objection raised by the defence is viewed as being an attack on the integrity of the court and the prosecution....

Criminals all - thieves in Armani suits....

Yes - accuse the unemployed of being slackers and leaners... then reap the privileges of excessive government remuneration for yourself while doing nothing of value.

Greenslip insurance companies are accusing the Reserve Bank of Australia of holding interest rates at a low level and the insurance companies don't like how their returns from their investments, made up of your greenslip premiums, are on the decline

So who's making up for the shortfall in the greedy insurance companies' investment returns ?

You are ! ... the motorist. Read your letter accompaning your Greenslip lately ?

Insurance companies' giving themselves a bailout ...  and sanctioned by the NSW State Govt who says nothing and just kicks along, not surprising since they rip an MCIS levy off us in addition to the private insurance companies' greenslips. The MCIS levy is getting hefty as well, so what is the greenslip for ?

The sooner the Libs and Labs are extinct, the sooner we can all relax and live in peace without their greed and habitual rapacity

Not much more than the idea of suggestion is it?

Sounds like mum and dad!

:D :D

Then years later dad gets caught by mum sleeping under a tree after a few drinks with work colleagues only to drag him home and find you sifting through a bowl of buds with your banished next door neighboor and realising, finally- she's just an up-herself loser like everyone else...  ;) ;)

..and this is how every family wastes their lives looking down their noses at each other  ::)

Let us all judge the other and conveniently forget the truth: yeh standover tactics rock.. cops got a difficult job and sometimes know the crim never had a chance as a kid... but they still gotta do these old school mum and dad bullshite bad cop friggin indirect passive aggressive stuff.

It's the only way to get on the property ladder after all!
