Epistemology Of Confession
In this context, I propose an innovative theory termed “Epistemology of Confession” (EOC) to review and analysing youth criminal cases through in-depth profiling, unlike DNA testing. A detailed description of this theory will be discussed in Chapter Three.
The Proposed Theory: Three Hypotheses
1. Youth suspects with a high level of confusion are more likely falsely confess during the Reid technique, which otherwise they would not confess in the traditional interrogation due to less pressure.
2. There is a significant difference between interviewing an innocent youth and a delinquent youth while using the Reid technique.
3. Youth suspects, without physical evidence, are more likely to be assaulted during the Reid Technique interrogation
