However, the first mistake made by the suspects who falsely confess is talking to the police. So how can someone be so easily influenced to speak when it is not necessary or in their best interest?

We need lies to vanquish this reality, this “truth”, we need lies in order to live. That lying is a necessity of life itself a
However, this is another way to show others potential law breakers the outcome if they were to commit the offense. Deterrence is a good way to bring awareness to others around the community about offenders that need to be known about. This idea also applies to others besides offenders. Deterrence can also humiliate others and can be very embarrassing for some if community service gets involved.
