How would you recommend reforming our changing, or altering, or our turning the knobs of what we currently do in the criminal justice system? You excellent. So to play off what you were just saying, there are tweaks that we could make to this system based off what you've learned. What would those be? Certainly. One of the main things is, whilst the peting, which aspect you're talking about, but one of the main for the criminal justice yet, im i justice first, for sureyo.

Our guest on this episode is Dr. Julia Shaw, the author of The Memory Illusion.

Julia is famous among psychologists because she was able to implant false memories into a group of subjects and convince 70 percent of them that they were guilty of a crime they did not commit, and she did so by using the sort of sloppy interrogation techniques that some police departments have been truly been guilty of using in the past.

From her book’s website: “In The Memory Illusion, Dr Julia Shaw uses the latest research to show the astonishing variety of ways in which our memory can indeed be led astray. Fascinating and unnerving in equal measure, the international bestseller The Memory Illusion has been translated into 20 languages and offers a unique insight into the human brain, challenging you to question how much you can ever truly know about yourself.”
