PURPOSE: The principal aims of this study are to identify risk factors associated with police arrest and false confessions and to investigate whether the severity of the @entity71 condition/symptoms increases the risk. METHODS: 22,226 young @entity1 in Iceland anonymously completed self-report questionnaires screening for @entity9054 and @entity71 . In addition, they stated whether they had a diagnosis of @entity71 and had received @entity71 medication, and their history of offending, police interrogation and false confession. @entity1 were stratified into two age groups, 14-16 and 17-24  years. RESULTS: The older group was significantly more likely to have been interrogated by the police but the younger group were much more vulnerable to false confession during interrogation. Males were more likely to be at risk for both than females. The severity of the @entity71 condition increased the risk of both interrogation and false confession. Negative binomial regressions showed that age, gender, @entity9054 , offending, and @entity71 symptoms were all significant predictors of both interrogations and number of false confessions. @entity9054 was the single best predictor of police interrogation, but the findings were more mixed regarding false confessions. Young @entity1 presenting with a combination of severe @entity71 and @entity9054 had the worst outcome for both interrogation and false confessions. CONCLUSIONS: The findings endorse the need for support of @entity1 with @entity71 to be put in place to ensure fair due process and to prevent miscarriages of justice.
