Police interviews - how do they (really) work?

lundi 7 août 2023

Watching police dramas on tv I'm constantly wondering what ever comes out of police interviews.

Fuzz: "You did it didn't you?"

Perp: "No I didn't"

Guv (observing): "Damn - we've got nothing."

In reality, do people incriminate themselves? Or fess up when they realise the police really do have evidence? Do they get outwitted in the interview room?

I'd be really interested to understand how they really go about it and what their goals are.

On another question we were wondering how it "harms your defence" if you stay silent but then rely on evidence in court. Surely the court is interested in what is the fact over and above when it was proffered.
