This research concerns murderers' and sexual offenders' experiences of Swedish police interviews and their attitudes towards allegations of these serious crimes. The explorative study is based on a questionnaire answered by 83 men convicted of murder or sexual offences. Results show that when police officers interview murderers and sexual offenders, the individuals perceive attitudes that are characterized by either dominance or humanity. Logistic regression shows that police interviews marked by dominance are mainly associated with a higher proportion of denials, whereas an approach marked by humanity is associated with admissions. When suspects feel that they are respected and acknowledged, they probably gain more confidence and mental space, allowing them to admit criminal behaviour.
本研究关注杀人犯和性犯罪者在瑞典警方讯问中的经历以及他们对这些严重罪行指控的态度。这项探索性研究基于83名被判犯有谋杀罪或性犯罪的男性所回答的问卷。结果表明，当警察讯问杀人犯和性犯罪者时，这些人会察觉到以支配或人道为特征的态度。逻辑回归显示，以支配为特征的警方讯问主要与更高比例的否认相关，而以人道为特征的方式则与认罪相关。当嫌疑人感到自己受到尊重和认可时，他们可能会获得更多信心和心理空间，从而承认犯罪行为。
