Summary: Research over the past three decades has shown that false confessions exist in police interrogations around the world and that they appear in different forms. The reasons and circumstances of false confessions have also been investigated. However, the frequency of this phenomenon is still largely unknown. Although many studies have addressed this issue, the nature of false confessions makes it difficult to recognize them, as well as to collect reliable data on their frequency. A comparison of different studies shows, however, that false confessions occur far more often than one might think. This article presents the current state of research on the frequency of false confessions and discusses the research approaches taken.S
