Overcoming false testimonies with focus on false self-incrimination and false confessions
Original language description
This article discusses overcoming false testimonies with a focus on false self-incrimination and false confessions. After outlining the general conditions of interrogation, the reasons why the factual allegations made by the interrogated person may be false are analysed. Unintentional false statements may occur due to errors in perception, in the storage of information in the subject's memory trace, or deficiencies in the reproduction of information from the memory trace. Overcoming deliberate false self-incriminating statements is divided into two phases in the article. First, the need to correctly identify the type of motivation for making false self-incriminating statements, and second, an individualised tactical approach that has the effect of either reducing or eliminating the motivation to make false self-incriminating statements and/or inducing in the interrogated person a motivation to testify truthfully that overrides the already present motivation to testify falsely. A separate chapter is devoted to involuntary false confessions, which are often the result of a breach of the investigator's responsibilities.
