Answer to Question #210253 in Psychology for krish

Question

How would you go about getting a confession from a suspect who is sitting in front of you, crying and saying "I feel so bad about what happened." ?

Answer 1

The suspect understands that no claims of innocence will be considered. Now I'm going to convince the suspect that I understand why he did it and that everyone else would as well. After confessing, the suspect will feel better. After he accepts, everything will go well, and he will be charged less.
