Example text
The tendencies of low power individuals to devote attention to the needs and objectives of high power individuals, and to evaluate the details of their behavior to assess implications for the lower power individuals’ goals, would render them more sensitive to the interrogator’s affective reactions (and to manipulation via expressions of flattery, pleasure, and displeasure) and to the many subtle and implied threats and promises concerning the consequences of confession versus denial. Such tactics are common practices among interrogators (see Davis, 2010; Davis & Leo, 2010).

Davis Confession as Compliance Suspects may also confess simply to comply with interrogator demands, regardless of their experience of duress or expected long-term legal outcomes. , 2010 for review). Our earlier review of culturebased norms of compliance with authorities, and of minority fears and expectations of law enforcement suggests that ethnic minorities might more readily comply during criminal interrogations in order to avoid further confrontation with authorities, hoping that cooperation would deflect law enforcement aggression and/or result in superior legal outcomes (including judicial deportation decisions regarding immigrants).
