coercive interrogation tactics

Coercive interrogation tactics are methods used by authorities to persuade someone to provide information, often through pressure, intimidation, or psychological stress. These tactics can include threats, physical force, prolonged questioning, isolation, or manipulating emotions to break a person’s resistance. The goal is to make the individual feel pressured enough to reveal information they might otherwise withhold. Such methods are controversial because they can lead to false confessions, violate human rights, and undermine the integrity of the information obtained.
