A review by mountaingoat
Duped: Why Innocent People Confess and Why We Believe Them by Saul Kassin

challenging informative sad tense medium-paced

3.5

this was a great book, but i found it incredibly repetitive. that said, i definitely know what i would do now if i found myself being interrogated by the cops.
