Case Study: Improving Interrogation Techniques Scenario

This assignment relates to the following Course Learning Requirements

CLR 1: Explain biological, psychological and social determinants of human behaviour and mental processes.

CLR 3: Apply psychological concepts to explain aspects of human behaviour and mental processes.

Objective of this Assignment: The objective of this assignment is to give you a chance to apply interrogation techniques learned in this module to a real-life case scenario.

Assignment Tasks:

Read the following case study and answer the corresponding questions:

It is 2:00 a.m., Wednesday morning and a suspect is being detained for interrogation. The room is cold so the suspect is given a blanket. But, after stating he is hungry, the suspect is informed that he will not receive food or drink until the interview is over.

The interrogator asks the suspect where he was and what he was doing when the crime took place. As the suspect recounts his story, the interrogator interrupts him frequently believing this will be an effective scare tactic as interrupting is a way of maintaining dominance. The interrogator explains, in a loud voice, that the crime could only have been committed in a certain way and does not present any alternatives. The interrogator does not provide any face saving reasons for why the crime took place and may have been justifiable in some way.

The suspect becomes increasingly agitated. In the middle the interview, the suspect withdraws emotionally and stops talking. Frustrated, the interrogator leaves the room in anger and stops the interview.

What is the interviewer taker doing wrong?
Explain and support your reasoning using clear and concise synthesis of course content and additional resources to demonstrate understanding of topic.

Clearly explain a minimum of 3 things you would do differently if you were the interviewer in this situation.
You may consider the types of questions asked, the manner in which they were asked, as well as the body language of the interrogator (2 points each).
