Cher Internaute,
C'est ici un blog de bonne foi, lecteur. Il t'avertit dés l'entrée, que je ne m'y suis proposé aucune fin, que domestique et privée: je n'y ai eu nulle considération de ton service, ni de ma gloire: mes forces ne sont pas capables d'un tel dessein. Je l'ai voué à la commodité particulière de mes parents et amis: à ce que m'ayant perdu (ce qu'ils ont à faire bientôt) ils y
Who would you get to play you? Dean Dad answered this question, recently, he views himself as a Muppet Show Kermit trying to make order out of chaos or a 1960's Bob Newhart.So, which characters for Dr. Zeus? And a big problem is that a lot of forensi...
I was elated today when I checked my links and discovered that the e-evidence site was back online. This is one of the best resources available for our field. Apparently Christine had some hosting issues in December. There are a lot of updates and lot...
It's heresy to say it, but there's a lot of B.S. in academe. There's a lot of B.S. in life in general, but that's another post. Terry Pratchett has some great philosophy camouflaged as humor in his books. There's one quote, from Lu-Tse, the Sweeper,...
If you haven’t seen it already, head over to the BPS Research Digest blog where there’s a good summary of some interesting research on false confessions:
[Jessica] Klaver’s team have used an elegant laboratory task to compare two types of interrogation technique and found that it is so-called ‘minimising’ questions and remarks - those that downplay the seriousness of the offence, and which blame other people or circumstances - that are the most likely to lead to a false confession.
Using minimization techniques can be part of the Reid Technique, a popular law enforcement interrogation technique taught widely in the US and Canada which some researchers have argued puts vulnerable individuals at risk of falsely confessing. To be fair, however, the proponents of the Reid Technique do include a chapter on false confessions in the fourth edition of their manual. And I am sure they would debate the ecological validity of the paradigm Klaver et al used.

Abstract We surveyed our data over a 15-year period to determine the prevalence of cardiomyopathy diagnoses in our database and characterized
the cases in regards to demographic and clinicopathological data. Furthermore we evaluated implications for screening. The
data were acquired through our computerized database containing autopsy reports. Only cases with typical anatomical and histological
features were included. The total number of autopsies in the studied period was 7,185 of which 32 suited the following criteria:
14 arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies (ARVC), 8 hypertrophic cardiomyopathies (HCM), 8 dilated cardiomyopathies
(DCM) and 2 other cardiomyopathies. Symptoms of cardiac disease were present in 8 ARVC, 3 HCM and 7 DCM cases. Symptoms of
cardiac disease, including suspected sudden cardiac deaths, were present in the families of 5 cases. In two of these families
the illnesses were discovered as a result of testing after autopsy. We underscore that these diseases are difficult to diagnose
as the presenting symptoms are elusive. We found the circumstances around death to be extremely varied, and found that new
hereditary cases could be discovered after autopsy. This places an intriguing perspective on the integration of standardized
screening protocols with participation from forensic institutes.
