| Research Abstract |
This study examines public opinions about interrogation techniques and sentencing by surveying both university students and the general public. The studies on the general interrogation techniques showed that the participants regarded “Active listening” .which is most likely to elicit true confessions from guilty suspects and least likely to elicit false confessions from innocent suspects. as the most preferable technique. The study examining specific murder cases and interrogation styles demonstrated that the participants considered the confrontational type of interrogation technique to be the least fair and believed that the confessions elicited from this technique were the least truthful. In addition, the gender of the participants and the type of interrogation techniques used influenced the participants’ decisions regarding suspects’guilt or innocence
