Document Summary
Interrogation: accusatory - think they are guilty purpose = learn the truth/get confession conducted only when investigator certain of guilt active persuasion / coercion notes only when suspect has told truth. Interview: non-accusatory purpose = gather info conducted early conducted in variety of environments free-flowing/unstructured written notes, slows pace. Why no good interviews on tv: police not trained in techniques, appropriate interview = boring tv interview techniques seldom used in practice. Good interview protocols: rapport with interviewee interviewee does most talking interviewer must be understanding, accepting, non-coercive, non-judgemental, create relaxed informal context, interviewee understands rules of interview, use open-ended questioning, no interviewer bias. Instructions/rules to interviewee: report everything - don"t hold back, don"t guess, ask if question unclear, correct interviewer"s errors, use comfortable language, repeated questions - 1st answer not wrong, just clarifying. Biased interviewers: report interview based on bias - looking for confirmation, overlook inconsistent info, ask misleading, biased questions, distort witness testimony.
