✦ Synopsis

Considerable attention has been given to the psychology of confession evidence in recent years. While various factors have been used to de®ne the types of confessions possible, most classi®cation frameworks have focused on the various types of false confessions. An expanded framework is outlined using a decision-tree model in which confessions are de®ned according to a number of dimensions, including whether or not a confession is retracted, veracity or truthfulness, legal culpability of the suspect, voluntariness, and speci®c nature of the coercion that might produce a confession. A proposal is made for a new subtype of false confession, the coerced± reactive type, to supplement current theoretical approaches. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of this conceptual model for providing consultation and expert testimony in cases involving disputed confessions.
