If you have to be interrogated by an investigator, don't worry. Usually this procedure is not as scary as shown in the movies. However, it is still worth preparing for the upcoming event and finding out how the interrogation is conducted by the investigators.
Instructions
Step 1
Interrogation is a tactical game, as a result of which the investigator receives the necessary information: under what circumstances the event took place, what other sources of necessary information are there, is the evidence already involved in the case correct.
Step 2
Before calling a witness or suspect for interrogation, the investigator carefully examines his interests, education, cultural level, temperament and psychological characteristics. This is necessary so that during interrogation it would be possible to correctly interpret a person's behavior.
Step 3
One of the most effective techniques, often used in investigative practice, is the method of surprise. The person using this technique most often counts on the fact that the suspect, if he is lying, will not have time to "switch" the previously thought out system of answers to an unexpected question and, as a result, will get confused and confused. Most often, the investigator pays attention not to the answer of the person being interrogated, but to his reaction in order to understand the degree of importance of this question.
Step 4
In order to create for their "prisoner" the effect of "inevitable establishment of the truth", investigators use the technique of consistency. Dwelling in detail on each piece of evidence, the investigator focuses on its undeniable consistency and fidelity. As a result, the suspect has no doubts about this, and he begins to get nervous, anticipating the outcome of the interrogation.
Step 5
In order to confuse the suspect, the investigator loads him at the same time with several facts, weighty for the investigation, and evidence that are not connected with each other. As a result, a person's consciousness is "overloaded" and he, unable to establish even the slightest connection between the reasoning of the investigator, loses the ability to tell a lie.
Step 6
If a person knows some information, but is afraid to tell the police about it, then the investigator uses the technique of emphasizing the positive qualities of the person. During interrogation, the witness is repeatedly reminded of his heroism and courage, of the civic duty that must be performed. The positive facts of his biography can also be used here.
