The White Paper suggests important reforms that will reduce the likelihood of false confessions resulting from police interrogation. The research underlying these suggested reforms has yielded significant advances in our understanding of factors associated with false confessions. As we move forward, we encourage the development of empirically based approaches that provide a viable alternative to current practice. In doing so, we suggest that researchers pursue a positive psychological approach that involves partnering with practitioners to systematically develop interrogative methods that are shown to be more diagnostic. By taking such an approach, we believe that the recommendations offered in the current White Paper can be supplemented by methods that carry the support of both scientific and law enforcement communities.
白皮书提出了重要的改革建议，以减少警察讯问导致虚假供述的可能性。这些改革建议所依据的研究在我们对与虚假供述相关因素的理解上取得了重大进展。在我们向前推进的过程中，我们鼓励发展基于经验的方法，为当前的做法提供可行的替代方案。在这样做的过程中，我们建议研究人员采用积极的心理学方法，与从业者合作，系统地开发被证明更具诊断性的讯问方法。通过采取这种方法，我们相信当前白皮书提出的建议可以通过既得到科学界又得到执法界支持的方法加以补充。
