Psychological pressure from law enforcement during intense interrogations can lead to false confessions. Preventive measures include video recording of the process, limiting interrogation duration, and providing access to legal counsel.

Suspects might confess falsely if they fear immediate harm or have been threatened. Prevention includes oversight by an independent body, training law enforcement, and strict rules against threats.

Long hours of questioning can cause mental and physical exhaustion, leading to false confessions. Ensuring rest periods, offering food and water, and appropriate sleeping facilities can help prevent this.

Suspects may not understand the repercussions of confessing, especially if they have cognitive impairments. Clear communication, checks for understanding, and presence of a legal guardian or advocate are important preventive steps.

Individuals may falsely confess to protect someone they care about. Preventing this requires ensuring that the confession is corroborated by evidence and that the suspect understands the legal consequences.

Fearing a harsher punishment if they do not cooperate, suspects may falsely confess. This could be prevented by informing suspects of their rights and the potential outcomes of their cases.

People with low IQ or comprehension difficulties might not fully grasp the situation, leading to false confessions. Preventing this involves cognitive evaluations, ensuring comprehension through simpler language, and having counsel present.

Suspects under the influence or experiencing withdrawal may not be in the right state of mind when confessing. Medical evaluations, detox support, and delaying interrogations until the suspect is sober are preventive methods.

Mental health issues can affect perception and lead to false admissions. Mental health assessments and having mental health professionals present during interrogations can serve as safeguards.

Young suspects are more susceptible to suggestion and can be easily influenced. Protections include parental involvement, legal representation for minors, and special protocols for juvenile interrogations.

A history of negative interactions with law enforcement may lead individuals to believe that confession is the only option. Educating on rights and ensuring fair treatment can help in prevention.
