Nadine, Not torture, but most certainly coercive, wouldn't you agree? Tantamount to torture! Call the press... John@tantamounttosatire.com

Oh, not torture, but threats - your partner has ratted you out, and unless you tell us everything now, the charge will be Murder 1 and you're heading to death row. Cooperate, and it will be Manslaughter. Outsmarting criminals isn't against the law. :) I am not aware of any scientific studies on the effectiveness of physical pain and suffering as an interrogative technique, although I hypothesize that such studies have been done in the past by totalitarian states, e.g., the real Nazis. But, as you know, we don't allow their research to be used for ethical reasons. Getting back to my original statement, it's one I've read numerous times in reported cases. Where they got their information, I coudn't say. Maybe there's a law review article on it, I'll check later in the day and get back to you.
