How it's used
This term is primarily used in legal or investigative contexts to describe the act of manipulating a suspect into providing a statement. It carries a strong negative connotation of coercion or unethical interrogation tactics. Unlike a simple confession, it implies that the information was obtained through external pressure or trickery rather than voluntary admission.
Examples
The police want to induce a confession to make him plead guilty.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with general persuasion or convincing someone to do something. It is specific to legal confessions and should not be used for everyday situations like convincing a friend to go to dinner.
