		<description>The &lt;a href=&quot;http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=968215&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;24 effect&lt;/a&gt; is old news at this point, but I still feel sickened every time I pass that show on the dial. Not so much at its depictions of cruelty, but at its horrible propaganda potential.

&lt;blockquote&gt;The ultimate result of the 24 effect, therefore, will likely be a shifting of the baseline for permissible treatment of criminal defendants; because psychological coercion, trickery, false promises and threats have a lesser visceral impact than the physical torture to which we are all becoming accustomed, courts as well as the public at large are likely to become more accepting of these techniques.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
