Most studies of confessions have looked at the influence of individual factors, neglecting the potential interactions between these factors and their impact on the decision to confess or not during an interrogation. Classification and regression tree analyses conducted on a sample of 624 convicted sex offenders showed that certain factors related to the offenders (e.g., personality, criminal career), victims (e.g., sex, relationship to offender), and case (e.g., time of day of the crime) were related to the decision to confess or not during the police interrogation. Several interactions were also observed between these factors. Results will be discussed in light of previous findings and interrogation strategies for sex offenders.
大多数关于供词的研究都着眼于个体因素的影响,而忽略了这些因素之间的潜在相互作用及其对审讯期间是否认罪的影响。对 624 名被判有罪的性犯罪者样本进行的分类和回归树分析表明,某些与犯罪者(例如,个性、犯罪生涯)、受害者(例如,性别、与犯罪者的关系)和案件(例如,犯罪发生的时间)相关的因素与警方审讯期间是否认罪的决定有关。还观察到这些因素之间存在一些相互作用。结果将根据先前的发现和对性犯罪者的审讯策略进行讨论。
