Confessions in the Courtroom
Author: Lawrence S. Wrightsman
Publisher: SAGE Publications
ISBN: 1452254028
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
When the prosecution introduces confession testimony during a criminal trial, the effect is usually overwhelming. In fact, jurors′ verdicts are affected more by a confession than by eyewitness testimony. While eyewitness studies are massive in numbers, the topic of confession evidence has been largely ignored by psychologists and other social scientists. Confessions in the Courtroom seeks to rectify this discrepancy. This timely book examines how the legal system has evolved in its treatment of confessions over the last half century and discusses, at length, the U.S. Supreme Court′s decision regarding Arizona v. Fulminante which caused a reassessment of the acceptability of confessions generated under duress. The authors examine the causes of confessions and the interrogation procedure used by the police. They also evaluate the process for determining the admissability of confession testimony and provide excellent research on jurors′ reactions to voluntary and coerced confessions. Social scientists, attorneys, members of the criminal justice system, and students will find Confessions in the Courtroom to be an objective and readable treatment on this important topic. "In this short volume, the authors seek "to describe and evaluate what we know about confessions given to police and their impact at the subsequent trial." It is a comprehensive review of the social psychological literature and legal decisions surrounding confessions. One of the primary strengths of the manuscript is the interplay between social science and law fostered by the authors′ clear understanding of the boundaries between these disciplines and appreciation of the substantive areas they share. . . . [The authors] have produced a comprehensive and imminently readable legal and psychological treatise on confessions, valuable for established scholars and for students." --Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice

Author Christine Dolan was there from before the break in the damn as an investigative journalist. Originally from Boston, and raised in a prominent Catholic family, Dolan was able to discover information that even the Massachusetts prosecutors were ignorant of in early January 2002. Her sources went deep inside the Church and when she realized the Church thought they were protected by Canon Law, she dug deeper into the criminal model whose goal was to protect the Church at all costs.

Battle For The Mind
Author: William Sargant
Publisher: Prabhat Prakashan
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Battle for the Mind by William Sargant is a thought-provoking book that explores the intricacies of human behavior, the power of persuasion, and the influence of social conditioning on our minds. Drawing from his extensive research in psychiatry and psychology, Sargant presents compelling insights into the manipulation of beliefs, ideologies, and thought patterns. Key Aspects of Battle for the Mind: Understanding the Dynamics of Persuasion: Sargant delves into the various techniques employed to influence and manipulate individuals' thoughts and behaviors. He examines the role of propaganda, advertising, religious indoctrination, and other forms of social control in shaping our perceptions and decision-making processes. By unraveling the mechanisms behind persuasion, readers gain a deeper understanding of how external influences can impact their thoughts and beliefs. Unmasking Manipulation and Mind Control: The book explores the darker side of psychological manipulation, focusing on methods used to exploit and control individuals. Sargant sheds light on psychological warfare, brainwashing, and mind control techniques, highlighting their potential to subvert personal autonomy and undermine critical thinking. By exposing these tactics, readers are empowered to recognize and resist manipulative influences, fostering personal growth and self-determination. Empowering Personal Development: Despite delving into the darker aspects of manipulation, Battle for the Mind also emphasizes the importance of personal development and self-awareness. Sargant encourages readers to cultivate independent thinking, strengthen their mental resilience, and reclaim control over their own minds. The book serves as a call to action, urging individuals to actively engage in their own personal growth, break free from societal conditioning, and embrace their authentic selves. Battle for the Mind provokes introspection and prompts readers to question the beliefs and ideologies they hold. It challenges us to examine the sources of our thoughts, the influences that shape our worldview, and the extent to which we have agency over our own minds. By arming readers with knowledge and awareness, Sargant equips them to navigate the complexities of the modern world and take charge of their own personal development. William Sargant: William Sargant, born in 1907, was a British psychiatrist and author. His research and writings focused on the field of psychopharmacology and the effects of drugs on the human mind. Sargant's work, particularly his book Battle for the Mind, examined the ways in which psychological techniques and drug therapies could be used for both therapeutic and manipulative purposes. While his methods and theories have been subject to controversy and debate, Sargant's contributions to the understanding of mental health and the impact of drugs on the brain have had a lasting influence on psychiatric research and practice.
