The psychology of confession evidence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the criminal justice system currently does not afford adequate protection to innocent people branded as suspects and that there are serious dangers associated with false confessions, and that when coerced self-incriminating statements are presented in the courtroom, juries do not sufficiently discount the evidence in reaching a verdict.

The susceptibility of child witnesses to suggestion: An empirical study.
TL;DR: In this article, the reliability of child witnesses was examined from the viewpoint that child witnesses should be treated with suspicion because their memories are very susceptible to suggestion, and the results from a second testing session led to the conclusion that although the younger children appeared to submit to suggestion much more readily than the older subjects, the effect of suggestion on actual memory was not significantly different for the three subject-groups.
