“As the stakes go up, you would think it would be harder to get someone to confess – to a murder rather than a lesser crime – and yet as the stakes go up, the rates go up,” says Kassin, explaining how police will put seasoned interrogators on higher profile crimes, increasing the odds of gaining confessions.
