O taktyce przesłuchania osoby przyznającej się do popełnienia umyślnego przestępstwa
Tactics of interrogation in the case of confession

Summary/Abstract: In the practice of justice, admission to a committed criminal offense plays a special role: it facilitates the creation of a coherent picture of events, helps to bring together fragmented, sometimes insufficient evidences, gives legal grounds for the use of truncated modes of proceedings. In the public consciousness, the fact of admitting is very often identified with the unquestionable guilt of such person. Similar cognitive errors are also committed by law enforcement officers, and sometimes even judges in complicated criminal cases. It may be that the adjudicating person is not the perpetrator of the offense, the offense was not committed or described by the incident did not in fact occur at all. The author, on a concrete example, shows the risk resulting from the application of inappropriate methods of interrogation, describes the basic principles that must be followed when interrogating person probably committing intentional offense. The methods for verifying admission have also been presented.
