Overview

Trust in the State is eroding, false confessions are resulting in wrongful convictions, and communities are calling for defunding of police, and police reforms. Torture, and a family of interrogational abuses have derailed efforts to bring suspects to justice. This event will highlight the operationalization of the emerging interrogational research and why it matters.

This program is free.
