Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho procurou perceber a perspectiva do investigador acerca da confissão e
da falsa confissão, recorrendo a entrevistas semi-directivas, efectuadas a 60 investigadores. Para a
sua análise, recorreu-se à análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram que os factores mais
importantes para os investigadores, quer para a confissão quer para a falsa confissão, são o
suspeito e o interrogatório, sendo o menos importante o próprio investigador. Também foi
possível perceber que os investigadores consideraram que as técnicas de interrogatório são os
factores mais importantes na obtenção de uma confissão, bem como que os motivos mais
importantes para a realização de uma falsa confissão são, de acordo com a perspectiva do
investigador, a defesa de terceiros por parte do suspeito. O estudo permitiu aprofundar as
questões da confissão e da falsa confissão, especialmente em relação à perspectiva do
investigador.
