The Role of the Interpreter in the Legal System of Northern Ireland

POLICE Suspects; victims; witnesses Procedures Interviewing techniques Specialist areas

COURTS Magistrates’ Court Crown Court Family Youth

PRISONS Lawyer consultations Video links Parole Board

The Interpreter Skills: Knowledge: Ethics: Code of Conduct:

What is a police interview? A conversation ? A chat ? A question and answer game ? A search for the truth ? An attempt to obtain a confession ? A literal reproduction ?

Standard interviewing techniques Open-ended questions Closed-ended questions Multiple choice Leading questions Cognitive interview: avoid interrupting witness; allow for long pauses and silences

PITFALLS Failure to interpret everything Give a personal opinion to the police officer Changing the specific choice of words, eg “did you take something away?” to “did you steal something ?” Failure to follow the system of open-ended questions = change to close-ended questions

DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC ABUSE ‘Any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, verbal, sexual, financial or emotional) inflicted on one person by another where they are or have been intimate partners or family members, irrespective of gender or sexual orientation.’
