INTERROGATION

Interrogations : The Reid Technique vs. PEACE Method     An interrogation is the process of formally and systematically questioning an individual with the aim of eliciting useful information related to a suspected crime and is carried out by trained law enforcement officers or intelligence agencies. An interrogation is not the same as an interview in fact they would be conducted at completely separate stages of an investigation. An individual being interviewed by the police is not necessarily suspected to be guilty of anything but may have knowledge surrounding the victim or crime that is necessary for the investigation. An interview is the first stage in the information gathering process and is often non accusatory with a conversational nature. The investigator will mostly use open-ended questions to establish certain facts and details if an individual is interrogating by the police is generally because they are believed to be directly involved in the crime with either direct...

HOW COPS BEAT YOU IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM   The difference between an interview and an interrogation is that an interview is a general fact finding process. It's a fishing expedition, basically trying to find out what happened. Who, what, when, where, how, why. An interrogation on the other hand, is designed to get a confession. In an interrogation, they've already decided that you're guilty. And they come in there with one goal, and that's to get you to confess. During the interview and interrogation process, they've developed a couple of guidelines where they think that they can tell whether you're lying or telling the truth. The first is the response itself. Somebody who supposedly telling the truth is going to quickly and clearly deny they did it. "No, I didn't do it." Whereas somebody who's lying, is going to have more of a delayed response and more of an equivocal response. So they're going to say, "No, I wouldn't, I wo...

FORMER FBI AGENT(JOE NAVARRO) BREAKS DOWN INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES   So as an FBI agent, one of the things that I would do to make people comfortable was I always made sure that they would sit next to the door. On television you always see the suspect sitting in the corner of the room. That is third grade interviewing. Graduate level interviewing is you sit them near the door. Why? There's greater psychological comfort there. My name's Joe Navarro. And for 25 years I was a spy catcher with the FBI. And I am a nonverbal communications expert. So here's the truth about detecting deception or detecting if somebody's lying. There is no Pinocchio effect. It is sheer nonsense to assume that if somebody touches their nose, clears their throat, or touches their ear, that they're being deceptive. And I think this is the first time I'm revealing this on video. What we look for are indicators of discomfort and distress. We're not looking for deception because there...

FBI INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE The FBI is the United States' premier law enforcement agency, and has responsibilities that range from counter-terrorism to drug interdiction and investigating financial crimes. With such a broad range of responsibilities, it's only natural that FBI agents are going to come across a wide variety of suspects, and this makes FBI interrogators some of the most skilled in the world. Today we're going to teach you some basic interrogation techniques used by the FBI and other agencies that you can use in everyday life to get to the truth of the matter, or perhaps figure out when someone is lying to you or not. First though, it's important to note that there's a difference between an interrogation and an interview. An interview is typically a fact-finding mission, while an interrogation is much more focused. In an interview, the interrogator is typically not fully aware of most of the elements of a crime, and is seeking m...
