Lesson 4 Interrogation

Interrogation involves questioning a suspect or witness to obtain information. Techniques can range from developing rapport to torture. The goal is to test the veracity of statements and potentially elicit a confession. Investigators should remain calm and not show anger or contempt, ignoring insults. All answers must be rechecked and verified from different angles as not all statements may be true. In conclusion, interrogation provides an opportunity for the suspect to explain their innocence, but the process is only loosely governed by laws around admissibility of confessions and limitations on detaining suspects against their will.

Lesson 4: Interrogation
As we hear the word interrogation, well, this is the action of interrogating someone or the process of
being interrogated. The person who is suspected or involve in a crime is the one who’s being interrogated.
Interrogation may involve a diverse array of techniques, ranging from developing a rapport with the subject to
torture. Interrogating someone is a offensive-defensive situation where in the investigators needs to probes, pries
and push in order to reach the climax with a confessions. Accordingly, in criminal law. The process of questioning
by which police obtain evidence is called interrogation.

Interrogation is a non-accusatory conversation in which through question and answers, the police interviewer tries
to develop investigative and behavioral information that will test the veracity of statements made by a suspect,
victim, or witness. Interrogation, in contrast is an accusatory procedure designed to elicit from the subject an
acknowledgement that he or she did not tell the truth during an initial statement, whether that person is a suspect
who originally denied involvement in the issue under investigation, of/or a victim who fabricated the nature of the
alleged offense. During interrogation, the investigators should remain in a pleasant mood, no feelings of
contempt, impatient, and scorn. Insults and some offensive words from the subject must be ignored. The
investigators must remain calm, has no anger, be confident as he know the whole story is. According to Vincent
Donault at Université de Montréal, “Facial expressions and gestures can impact the outcome of a trial that
depends on the credibility of witnesses.” Investigators should suspect every answers from the subject and know
that not all the statements are being true and face the possibility that every answer is a false. The investigator
receiving a statement report from such a person may become suspicious that they are not being truthful. However,
until those suspicions are confirmed by evidence that meets the test of forming reasonable grounds for belief, the
investigator may continue to talk to this possible suspect without provicing any section 10 charter or cautions.
There is a unique opportunity at that point to gather the poser’s version of events including any untrue statements
that may afford an opportunity to later investigate and demonstrate a possible fabrication, which is by itself a
criminal offence. { - Rod Gety and Darryl Plecas} An investigators should recheck and verify every answers and
cover all the angle. If the case. Accordingly, most people on juries assume suspects only confess when they are
guilty, and the consequences can be disastrous [Faye Shelton, (of) Ednburgh Napior University]

In conclusion, interrogation was considered a splendid opportunity where the suspect allows to explain
and prove himself that she/he is innocent during the crime. The process is largely outside the governance of law
except for rules concerning the admissibility at trial of confessions obtained through interrogation and limitations
on the power of investigators to tain suspected persons against their will. The suspect’s explanation needs arry to
be verified once it’s done,then interrogation is terminated.
