Approximately 15—20 % of these wrongful convictions were caused by police-induced false confessions (Garrett, 2008). There have been more non-DNA post-conviction exonerations of the innocent in the same period (Gross et al., 2005) and even more confessions proven false through non-DNA means (Drizin and Leo, 2004). Regardless of the source of the exonerations, in virtually all of these cases, police elicited the false confession through psychologically coercive and/or improper interrogation methods (Leo, 2008). In virtually none of these cases did police electronically record their interrogations, although in some—as in the infamous Central Park Jogger case in which New York police elicited confessions from five juveniles that were proven false many years later—police selectively recorded the “recap ” (i.e., post-interro...

Lovers, Legal Strangers, and Parents: Negotiating Parental and Sexual Identity in Family Law

In it, I investigate the language of all such recorded decisions over the past 50 years, focusing on how judges--in interaction with the litigants before them--construct, negotiate, deny, and confirm the sexual and familial identities of the parents and would-be parents involved in these custody contests. Employing a constitutive framework and drawing on the social, scientific, and feminist literatures on sexuality, family, and law, I find that through multiple discursive processes, from self-representation to imposition to negotiation of new spaces of compromise, family law actors bring together sexual and familial statuses often treated as exclusive of each other.

Overall, participants estimated that they were 77% accurate at truth and lie detection, that 81% of suspects waive Miranda rights, that the mean length of interrogation is 1.6 hours, and that they elicit self-incriminating statements from 68% of suspects, 4.78% from innocents. Overall, 81% felt that interrogations should be recorded. As for self-reported usage of various interrogation tactics, the most common were to physically isolate suspects, identify contradictions in suspects' accounts, establish rapport, confront suspects with evidence of their guilt, and appeal to self-interests. Results were discussed for their consistency with prior research, policy implications, and methodological shortcomings.
