The Psychology of False Confessions

Today we’re sharing a podcast episode with all of you that we think you’ll love: it’s called “False Confessions: How to Break the Mind" from Amanda Knox’s podcast “Hard Knox”.

For years, Amanda Knox blamed herself for the false confession she gave to Italian police during the muder investigation of her roommate. Now, nearly 20 years later, exonerated and living safely in the US, she’s conducting her own kind of interrogation: into the surprisingly routine police conduct that leads innocent people to confess to crimes. 

Content note: This episode contains mentions of murder and sexual violence, including brief but graphic descriptions.

Listen to Maya’s two Slight Change of Plans interviews with Amanda Knox:

“Is Amanda Knox Finally Free?” 

“Amanda Knox Knows What You’re Thinking”
