Describe police interview techniques
Listening - interviewee invited to give an account of events, minimal questions from police. Questions and answers - interviewer asks specific questions based on the person's recall account. This is to reduce ambiguities, fill gaps and obtain additional information. Advice - statement is read through, alterations made if needed and interviewee informed of any further action. Gudjonsson said interviewee may deliberately try to deceive the interviewer. This comes in two types - self deception, where the interviewee lies to themselves, and others' deception, where the interviewee lies in order to conceal or falsify information. (Eckman, 1985)
