Taeko Wachi (pictured), who recently completed her PhD under the supervision of Professor Michael Lamb, is the first place winner in the 2013 American Psychology-Law Society (AP-LS) Dissertation Awards.
In a year which saw a large number of high quality submissions, Taeko's dissertation was judged to be highly original and very impressive. The dissertation, entitled, "Police Interrogations and Confessions in Japan,” was a three-part study that investigated which types of interrogation techniques are most likely to elicit confessions from guilty suspects in Japan.
Taeko will receive a monetary award and commemorative plaque, and has
been invited to attend, and present a poster at, the 2014 AP-LS Conference, which will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana this March.
