Project description
The role of knowledge in criminal interrogations
History has shown that getting a suspect or a person of interest to confess to a crime is no easy feat. Over time, though, experts developed techniques and built knowledge on ways in which to secure confessions. Psychology often played a key role in this, too. The EU-funded InterPsy project seeks to determine how and why criminal interrogations were influenced by scientific innovations in psychology. It will explore the connection between knowledge interrogation and scientists and practitioners; how actors evaluated different forms of knowledge; the production of epistemic hierarchies; and how actors translated theory into practice. The findings will demonstrate why knowledge proves instrumental – whether exchanged, assessed or applied.
