Making a Case: Interviewing Suspects

MAKING A CASE Interviewing Witnesses Interviewing Suspects Creating A Profile Recognising Faces

Research into deception generally shows that people look for non-verbal clues such as averting the eyes or appearing nervous or laughing as an indicator that someone is lying. Studies into deception show that participants score only just above the chance level when spotting liars ie they are not very good at it Vrij (2001) suggests that looking at indirect measures of deception such as a change in behaviour, body language, or speech is more effective than looking for lies. Vrij suggests that these indirect measure indicate that the suspect was having to “ think hard” which might be a better indicator of lying. Detecting Lies

In the USA polygraph testing is widely used by police authorities (you will have seen this method of lie detection popularised on programmes such as Trisha, Maury, Jeremy Kyle etc.) but is this any better than just reading body language? Polygraphs measure the four indexes of arousal (Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Respiration Rate and Galvanic Skin response), but arousal is not only raised when we lie, and the test itself can play havoc on people’s arousal levels and this is a threat to its validity. There is now a suggestion that lie detection may be possible using of MRI scans (functional MRI scans that measure brain activity), so is it possible that in the future police may regard our brain activity as well as our body language and signs of physiological arousal as an indication that we are lying? (As Psychologists, of course, we must be cautious about the potential misuse of such technology). What other methods are used to detect lies?

Interrogation Techniques

Five Techniques of Surviving a Police Interrogation (Without Confessing) Taken from freeBEAGLES' recommendations for animal rights' activists (and others) on how to make it through a police interrogation without incriminating themselves or their peers: 1.1. Remain silent Remain silent Imagine the words "I invoke my right to remain silent" painted on the wall, and stare at them throughout the interrogation Momentarily break your silence to ask for counsel Cultivate hatred for your interrogator so you don't fall into his traps and start talking. Read the following advice for suspects. Do you think this is good advice? Explain your answer.

What do you know about interrogation already?

The aim of employing interrogation is to obtain true confessions from subjects being questioned. The different techniques employed in interrogation are not just limited to questioning, but also carrying out torture. Techniques based on psychological studies help in manipulating the individual who is trying to hide information. Interrogation Techniques

In looking for a replacement for illegal forms of coercion, police turned to fairly basic psychological techniques like the time- honored "good cop bad cop" routine, in which one detective browbeats the suspect and the other pretends to be looking out for him. People tend to trust and talk to someone they perceive as their protector. Another basic technique is maximization, in which the police try to scare the suspect into talking by telling him all of the horrible things he'll face if he's convicted of the crime in a court of law. Fear tends to make people talk. Interrogation Techniques

Read the reading pack on Interrogation Techniques. 1.Define PACE and the procedures they use. 2.What are the Miranda rights? 3.Summarise the main differences between an interrogation and an interview. 4.Why can Reid’s Nine steps of Interrogation not be applied to the UK? Interrogation techniques

Aim – To develop an approach to interrogation which persuades the criminal that they have no choice but to confess. Read Inbau’s 9 steps of interrogation. Give one way in which using the Nine Steps of Interrogation Technique can be justified. Why would Inbau not agree with the Miranda rites? Key Study – Inbau et al

Interrogation Techniques ACTIVITY - ROLE PLAY Think of an offence Act out the 9 steps of interrogation proposed by Inbau et al. One person in your group has to be the suspect who eventually admits guilt in front of the witness One person will be the police officer using the 9 steps of interrogation One person will be the witness

Interrogation Techniques Can these techniques be justified? Yes: No: What type of offender might be particularly vulnerable? Could they lead to false confessions?

The pressure of interrogation can lead to false confessions and this is why there are strict safeguards for the rights of suspects. Read the section on false confessions on the handout. What are the 3 types of false confession categorised by Kassin and Wrightsman? The research into false memory syndrome is an aspect of the cognitive approach and is another example of maladapted thinking. It can also be explained by the role of the unconscious mind and specifically ego defence mechanisms from the psychodynamic perspective False Confessions
