Coercive interrogation methods

Coercive interrogation methods involve pressuring or intimidating individuals to extract information or confessions. These techniques can include physical threats, psychological manipulation, sleep deprivation, or other forms of stress designed to weaken a person's resistance. The goal is to make the individual more likely to provide the desired information by breaking down their mental and emotional defenses. Such methods are controversial due to ethical concerns and often lead to unreliable or false confessions, as they can distort a person's perception and decision-making under extreme duress.
