If you are looking for more information on false confessions but don't want to read an entire book, last month's New York magazine has a nice historical overview. Contributing editor Robert Kolker goes into depth about the science of interrogation tactics and false-confession psychology, and also proposes some solutions. The fascinating piece, anchored around a 1988 murder case in a hamlet in upstate New York, would make a good reading assignment for students.
