This book examines criminal confessions, the interrogations that elicit confessions, and the deceptive language that plays a role in the actual confession. The author presents transcripts from numerous interrogations and analyzes how language is used, how constitutional rights are protected (or not), and discusses consistency, truthfulness, suggestibility, written confessions and unvalidated confessions.
