What is the impact of psychological coercion on an individual during an interrogation?
The following excerpt is from People v. Lipsky, 102 Misc.2d 19, 423 N.Y.S.2d 599 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 1979):
Miranda itself was concerned with the area of overbearing police conduct during interrogation. The court cited numerous examples of police brutality, torture and the less apparent but no less insidious use of psychological coercion. It looked to texts and manuals which described standard interrogation techniques and their widespread use by police agencies to note that the creation of such an environment is for no other purpose than to subjugate the will of the individual to that of the examiner. Miranda v. Arizona, supra, at pp. 445-56, 86 S.Ct. 1602.
