This discussion paper aims to provide guidelines for police investigators to establish a better interrogation system to avoid false confessions. However, and to be honest, it is difficult to change a system that is based on ancient doctrines and practices, also known by the popular saying "that's the way it's always been done." But, as its opposite says, "just because something has always been done that way doesn't mean it should continue to be done that way", and a clear example of this problem is the use of methods for interrogation purposes. The Reid technique is still used to train police on how interrogations are conducted and should be a matter of concern.

As already mentioned, the purpose of this article is to provide investigators with guidelines to reduce false confessions. Although different approaches have been considered as to why people decide to make false confessions, these are just some of the many reasons that could influence a person's decision to plead guilty. I only mentioned those related to interrogation methods and prejudices. However, there are others that are also important because they deal with corruption, economic compensation and social pressure. There are undoubtedly many publications that can provide more information on this controversial issue. Furthermore, an interesting research topic would be to investigate whether, besides social factors, there are biological elements that could lead people to make false confessions...
