Policing Insight - Subscription at source 29/9/2025 Analysis, Feature ‘No police aftercare after my husband’s death’ "We are still going through such a horrendous traumatic time and loss, and we're left alone to navigate it, and it's not OK." BBC 29/9/2025 News Potential jurors’ perceptions of interrogations and confessions in Canada Canadian potential jurors (N = 377) were surveyed about their perceptions of police interrogation practices, confession evidence, and factors contributing to false confessions. Most respondents (85%) acknowledged the possibility of false confessions, but over half (56%) still associated confessions with guilt. Overt interrogation tactics like physical threats and explicit promises of leniency were seen as likely to elicit false confessions due to their coerciveness, while subtler methods like implied leniency were underestimated in their coerciveness and potential to elicit false confessions. Additionally, most respondents (85%) supported the use of expert testimony on false confessions to aid verdict decision-making. The findings suggest that potential jurors may possess some accurate understandings of confession dynamics but also hold significant misconceptions, particularly regarding their own vulnerability to false confessions and the risks posed by implicit coercion. The implications for juror education, expert testimony, and legal reforms to mitigate the risks associated with confession evidence are discussed. Psychology Crime and Law 29/9/2025 Research article “You’ll never get it out of your head”: the toll of SUID investigations on law enforcement officials Law enforcement officials are an integral part of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) investigations, yet their experiences have been largely unexamined. In this qualitative study, the lived experiences of law enforcement officials in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States were explored to better understand emotional burdens and other sources of discomfort during SUID investigations. Semi-structured interviews (N = 26) revealed four interrelated tensions experienced by law enforcement: 1) infrequent SUID occurrence limits development of investigator experience; 2) unique victim characteristics render SUID investigations particularly high-stakes; 3) the ambiguous scene and body findings of SUIDs create role conflict; 4) SUIDs provoke intense emotions that challenge professional detachment. While each of these tensions may be encountered in the performance of other law enforcement duties, they compound in SUID investigations to create a uniquely challenging experience. We conclude with practical recommendations for improving supports to law enforcement during SUID investigations.
