It is said that for a corporation, the 'unhappy custoiners are its greatest source of learning' and these words are
frequently used in business meetings and training workshops for employees engaged in customer relationship
mbnagement (CRM) activities. These famous words were spoken by Bill Gates, at that time, when ihe r,vorld was re-
discov'ering the art of listening to the customers by implementing better CRM practices..

A company could discover important insights from their customers (whether happy or unhappy) and use these insights
to improve processes and productp so that they can make it better for their future customers. So when Whirlpool
launched their washing nTachines way back in India, they listened to their 'unhappy customers' and realized that the
typical lndian dress such as Q saree or a dhoti were too big to b6 washed properly in their.machines. Hence, ihey did

unreporled o!- unacknowlcdgcd, lt is reasonabic to presume that the reportcC cases represent the tip of the iceberg.
Oniy iirr,. rrrost t:gregicus anrj iiigh pr-ofiie cases invol.,,!rrg dcmonsirai:lv false confessions ai"e !!kely tc be vrritten about in

Second, psychological rcsearch has demonstrateci through controlicd Iaboratory cxperinlentation that a vcry commonly
L:scd interrogation techniquc has a coercive impact on suspects and is thus likely to bc a source of false confession.
Kassin and [/cNail (1991)examined howthe scntcncing expcctations of sevcnty-five subjects were affected by the trvo
pr.ongs cf the accident stratcgy. "maximization" (i.e., exaggerating the strength oi the evidence, magnitude of the
charges, or seriousness of the oifense) and "minimization" (i.c., playing down the strength of the evidence, magrritude of
the chargcs or seriousness of thc offense). Using the video{ape of ui police interrogation and accompanying transcript
bi,it varyi;rg the information presei-rted, Kassin anC N4cNall (1991) found ihat through "pragmatic implicalion,"
maximiz,ation effectively communicates a thi"eat of harn-r, rvhiie minimization communicates a promise of ieniency. The
technique is acjvocated by the ieading interrogation ii'aining manual and commonly uscd in practice.

Rea,jirig "Lretr,veen the lines,'suspecis exposed to these tactics.infer harsh cr lenient sentencing outcomes just as if the
difrei-inq ccnsequences had been blatantly threatened or prornised, Both direci and indirect techniques 'fhey change
for
communicating threats or promises rely on the same logic io precipltate a suspect's decision to confess.
the result of the person's rationai calculation about what to do through the introduction of a strong incentive to confess,
ant)lar a strong disincentive to rcmain silent. The moder"n interrogltor's shift frcnr a direct to an indirect rnethod for
comrnunicating benefils or harms is llttle rnore than a method for eliciiing confessions by cii-cumventing well-established
lcgal protections

Third, these authors have cjiscovered numerous examples of probable or ccnfirmed false confessions. One line of
research involves the analysis of well over 150 interrogation transcripts, ancj the analysis of surorn testimony describing
interrogations. The second line involves studying nearly 200 interrogations, interviewing approximately 100 police
interogators, analysing interrogaiion transcripts, and collecting data on approximately 175 likely or proven post-lvliranda
er"a false confessions. Boih lines of inquiry have led to repeated cbservations of the process whereby interrogators
rlanipulate suspects and coerce or persuade them to confess to crimes that they Cjd not commit. ln some
interogations, such as those directed against the mentally handicapped, false confessions can be elicited rapidly and
r,trith minimal inducements. i\4ost often. however, elrciting a false confession iakes slrong inceniives, intense pressure
and prolongeci questioning

7'1. Which cf the following statements can be the
closest inference from the author's staternent when
he talks about modern investigators "circumventing
weii-established legal protections'?
(A) Confessions drawn through pragmatic
implication cannot be used to convict a suspect
in the court of law.
(B) Any technique, direct or indirect, that
conrmunicates threats and impacts a suspect's
ciecision to confess is illegal
(C) Eliciting a confession from a suspect by directly

benefits to the suspect is illegal.

confession using indirect methods rather than
