Why Teens Confess to Crimes They Didn't Commit by Lindsay Malloy

https://www.ted.com/talks/lindsay_malloy_why_teens_confess_to_crimes_they_didn_t_commit

Why do juveniles falsely confess to crimes? What makes them more vulnerable than adults to this shocking, counterintuitive phenomenon? Through the lens of Brendan Dassey's interrogation and confession (as featured in Netflix's "Making a Murderer" documentary), developmental psychology professor and researcher Lindsay Malloy breaks down the science underlying false confessions and calls for change in the way kids are treated by a legal system designed for adults.

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxFIU, an independent event. TED's editors chose to feature it for you.
