Q

effects/dangers of hypnosis

A
  • Hypermnesia: remembering more during their hypnotized state than their conscious state
  • Subjects relax their standards for reporting information. Approximations are accepted as truth, and subjects are extremely suggestible
  • Those hypnotized find it difficult to separate actual memories from those generated under hypnosis
  • Memory hardening: memory becomes more formed – both good and bad because don’t want them to remember things that are untrue or traumatic
  • More responsive to leading questions

Q

Janet Reno and Gary wells justice department guidelines

A

o Investigators should use open-ended questions when questioning witnesses; leading questions may taint witness’ memory
o The person conducting the lineup should make it clear that the suspect may or may not be present
o The fillers or foils in the lineup or photospread should match the physical features of the suspect and the features the witness reported
o The witness should be asked (and this recorded) how sure they are of their identification after the initial identification because sustacant effects impact their hypothesis
o Gary wells’ New additions
 Lineups should be sequential
 Witnesses should be videotaped about how sure they are of their identification
 The people conducting the lineups should not know who the suspect is

Q

what did the Loftus study teach us?

A

People find eyewitness testimony very convincing, even if there’s reasons they shouldn’t because they think it’s more accurate

Q

Belief in a Just world theory

A
  • Just world theory claims that people have a need to believe the world is fair (learner 1980)
  • Thus knowing an innocent person has been victimized threatens the image of a just world, and this motivates observers to restore justice in some way
    o We have to believe that the world is fair and that our good begavior will pay off in order for us to behave in a good way
    o BJW is motivation. If it is threatened one is going to have to do something to restore it.

    o Ultimate justice: payoff will come eventually even if it doesn’t come immedietly
    o Victim derogation: they deserve this bad thing because they are a bad person
    o Victim blame: something bad happened because they’re behavior was wrong

A

o Measure emotion by heart rate, blood pressure, sweat, breathing rate
o Asks relevant questions pertaining to the crime and compare to non-stressful irrelevant questions like birthdate
o Assumption: if someone is not lying their physiological response will be the same to both questions
o Problems: people can clearly tell what the relevant questions are, increased stress so might see a spike even if they are telling the truth

68
Q

The control question polygraph test

A

: to address problems
* John Reid created it
* Gathers biographical info., convinces subject that the machine is infallible (important technique)
* Ask crime relevant questions and irrelevant (but emotional) questions
o People still know what relevant questions are though

69
Q

The concealed knowledge polygraph (or guilty knowledge) test

A
  • Developed by Lykken because of his stark criticism of all other polygraph tests
  • Goal is to detect “guilty knowledge” and not necessarily
    o Everyone asked the same question, with multiple choice answers to see the reaction that causes the response
     Gets around comparing different answers to each other
     Problem with this is that there has to be information that is not widely known, some may have guilty knowledge even if they’re innocent
70
Q

polygraphs and confessions

A

Many criminals confess when “hooked up”, because they are convinced of the validity of the test – BUT that means it can also induce false confessions

71
Q

Ground truth

A

what does the guilty person’s test look like compared to the innocent peoples?
o Can set up a lab study to determine truth but in a criminal investigation we can’t guarantee that someone is lying or telling the truth so hard to really know what a guilty person’s test looks like

72
Q

misleading base rates in polygraph tests

A

too many false positives (deemed guilty when innocent) and false negatives (deemed innocent when guilty)
o Subjective on what the rate is, it’s better than chance but is that enough

73
Q

field study problem with polygraph tests

A

based on real – life, high stakes, situations – motivated to avoid detection
o Lab studies – stakes are not high enough – no “real” punishment attached
 Hard to do research in establishing how accurate it is

74
Q

the problem with countermeasures in polygraph tests

A

deliberately arousing self during irrelevant questions (thinking of something upsetting, pinching your skin, pain), using drugs, etc.

75
Q

Sax et al’s reserach on polygraph tests

A

18.2% false positives, 11.5% false negatives
- Total overall accuracy rates are at least 65% or better

76
Q

other lie detection methods

A
  • Cortical measures: measure the brain’s event-related potentials. Different evoked potentials are found when people are confronted with familiar stimuli (crime scene photos) than with unfamiliar stimuli
    o Polygraph
    o fMRI: blood flow to different reasons of the brain, lying looks different then telling the truth
     expensive so might not get very widespread
77
Q

78
Q

 Judge determines whether it meets standards and can be used

80
Q

Cavoukian and Heslegrave’s study on polygraph acquittal rates

81
Q

evaluating confessions

A
  • When the police capture suspects, one of their 1st acts is to encourage a confession
  • Police ALEAYS try to elicit a confession
  • Once a confession has been elicited, it can later be recanted – but how will jurors react to this?
    o Judge’s reaction: they hate recanted confessions because judge feels like they’re wasting everyone’s time and so give harsher punishments
    o Jurors find a confession even when recanted that they did it
  • Kassin found that confession are more incriminating than eye witness testimony, or character testimony
82
Q

confessions

A
  • Only those that are voluntary can be admitted into court. Three gray areas:
    o Promise of a lenient sentence told they can get an easier sentence if they confess
    o Threatened with severe punishment: we’ll go after the death penalty unless you confess
83
Q

Brown v. Mississippi

A

supreme court overturned the conviction of three black men for the murder of a white man because they were Whipped, Hanged from a tree and Stripped naked and beaten
o Coerced confessions are untrustworthy, offensive to the system and only serve to increase police brutality
o Coercion should not be allowed

84
Q

Forms of brutality

A

use of drugs, sleep deprivation, lack of food, prolonged interrogations
- Mental disease or retardation are not enough to throw out a confession

85
Q

Jackson v. Denno

if there’s an indication that confession was involuntary, defendants are entitled to a pretrial hearing in order to determine whether the confession was coerced

86
Q

Arizona V. Fulminate

A

admitting a coerced confession does not taint a verdict

87
Q

Why do innocent suspects falsely confess?

  • False confessions were involved in 15-20% of cases in which DNA evidence led to exoneration
88
Q

Voluntary false confessions

A

Desire for publicity, self-punitiveness (feel guilty for something), or various bizarre reasons

89
Q

Coerced - compliant false confessions

A

confess under pressure but don’t truly believe in own guilt
o 1980’s Maplewood/Richmond heights MO: confess because they are scared that they will be killed
o Brown vs. Mississippi who were beaten
o Often involves physical torture or threats

90
Q

Coerced – internalized false confessions

A

truly believe in guilt despite actual innocence
o Why might a person internalized a false confession
 2 components
* Vulnerable suspect: young (teenagers are more likely to confess then adults), mental illness, interrogation
* Lying about evidence: police blame innocent person by bringing in false evidence

Q

Entrapment

A

o Legal defense starting: (1) yes I committed the crime, but my behavior was induced by law enforcement pressure, and (2) I was not predisposed to commit this crime
 Sting: police set up an opportunity for someone to commit a crime
* Passive: not approaching anyone but creating opportuny for crime to happen
* Active: police approach someone and ask them to commit a crime under cover
* When judge/jury thinking if they buy this offense
o Subjective approach: look at person’s history and ask if they are likely to commit this crime
o Objective approach: What were policies behavior
* Most states use the subjective approach; ut both approaches are used by the supreme court
 Jackson v. united states: won the case, example of objective and subjective approach
