Abstract:
|
The importance of witness statements and/or a confession in a court of law has been reported in numerous British and American studies as one of the most significant items of evidence against the accused. Although it may be perceived as less egregious than commonly recognized forms of torture, certain types of coercive tactics used to extract statements and/or a confession from an individual may constitute violation[s] of U.N. Resolution 3452, which is the Declaration on the Protection of all Persons from Being Subjected to Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and/or U.N. Resolution 34/169, which is the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials.
There are six recognized categories of coerced false statements. Three of these categories pertain to non-custodial false statements, which include [1] Voluntary False Statements; [2] Non-custodial False Statements; and [3] Protective False Statements. The three remaining categories of coerced false statements pertain to custodial false statements, which include [1] Sub-intentioned False Statements; [2] Coerced-Compliant False Statements; and [3] Coerced-Internalized False Statements.
After attending this presentation, the participant will have [1] an awareness of the elements of the six categories of coerced false statements and/or confessions; [2] a profile of the personality characteristics of individual’s who are more susceptible to providing a coerced false statements and/or confession; [3] a recognition of those police tactics that may result in a coerced false statement and/or confession; and [4] an awareness of international Covenants and concerns regarding coerced false statements and/or confessions. |
