Forensic Psychology

Groups the studies whose central finding bears on the psychology of crime, legal proceedings or the justice system. Belongs here: Kassin and Kiechel's False Confession Experiment, which demonstrated experimentally that innocent people can be induced to confess falsely to an act they did not commit under police-interrogation-like pressure. A study of memory, deception or another process that does not center on a legal or criminal justice context is filed under the branch that phenomenon more directly belongs to.
