Most law enforcement officers in confrontational, accusatory methods of survey, in conjunction with an assessment of non-verbal behavior (body language) to elicit admissions and confessions.
But these methods are not successful in a high percentage of cases.
Consider the following:
• At least 50% of the interview methods currently taught law enforcement officers are not productive (Fisher, Geiselman and Raymond).
• law enforcement officers result no better than chance (50/50) on the question to assess the body language for the truth or deception (Ekman & O'Sullivan).
• Law Enforcement Officers, the blind faith in the principles involved in the assessment of deception through the analysis of body language (Gudjonsson).
• The published success rates of officials to confessions or admissions, with a confrontational approach, on average, less than 40% (Gudjonsson, Baldwin, Leo).
Why do we continue to use methods and principles that are not very productive (best) or counter-productive (in the worst case)?
Particularly because this is what we have learned in the law enforcement basic training and what has been in use over time.
The law enforcement authorities was like a big train. It takes enormous time and energy to move the train and once to move, he does not want to stop. In addition, the train will always remain on the same track, because the switch to a different track is a laborious, lengthy process.
We know from scientific studies conducted by behavioral scientists, coupled with the experience of working untold polygraph examiner and the prosecuting authorities, there are essentially two types of interviews conducted in law enforcement: the accusatory (confrontational) approach (primary) and the narrative (non-confrontational) approach, as a second approach.
We know from these studies that the following conditions is true:
• Most outweigh interview method in law enforcement today is the accusatory, (confrontational)-method, although any modern, published that he had the slightest effect.
• The most productive interviewing method is investigated under the narrative drive (non-confrontational) approach, but this method is not traditionally emphasized.
Apart from the fact that the confrontation survey does not work as well as a conversation partner interviews, he suffers from a major problem: It looks bad for the public.
If a member of the public, the media or a juror is a high energy, confrontational interview, the net effect is a feeling of coercion.
There are some techniques, the interviews are interlocutors in nature and a narrative, non-confrontational approach to interviewing, which proved to be very easy to use and very productive.
It has the advantage of being "politically correct" if they are members of the media and the public.
