Answer to Question 1
Answer: Answers will vary. Methods used by inexperienced or unscrupulous police interrogators include deception, fear tactics, unreasonably long interviews, sleep or food deprivation, and either exaggerating or minimizing the crime may all be discussed regarding the case chosen. Some of the interrogation techniques that legally could be applied include: logical, sympathetic, indifferent, face-saving, or egotistical styles.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: The cognitive interview technique is used for eliciting information from victims and witnesses, in contrast to obtaining confessions from suspects. It was developed with the intention to improve the effectiveness of police interviews when questioning witnesses and gather more and specific details of an event. The cognitive interview is less direct than a traditional interview and in some ways is a questionless interview. The goal is to ask as few questions as possible so that witnesses give you long narrative responses each containing much more information than a traditional interview. The objective is to try to elicit information, not extract information. The good interviewer tries to create a social environment so the witness generates information without having to wait for questions to be asked. Two methods include the think-aloud and the verbal probing technique.
