Fred Edward Inbau was born in New Orleans in 1909.

Fred’s greatest interest was in police interrogation. He developed an approach to that relied on presenting a mass of damaging facts to persuade criminals that they had no choice but to confess, and that used subtle psychology in dealing with crimes of passion.

Inbau also urged the police to use artifice and deception to trick suspects into confessing. He was frequently called on to conduct interrogations in celebrated cases and was a master at applying his own techniques. His book, Criminal Interrogation and Confessions, has been translated into many languages. Although he wrote eighteen different books, some in multiple editions, the interrogation textbook was the most influential. It was cited repeatedly by the Supreme Court in its famous Miranda decision. Inbau would become the leading scholarly critic of Miranda, and persistently called for the reversal of that holding.
