Xu Jiuyan continued: “Such a layout can create a feeling of invisible, unfamiliar, and helpless, thereby strengthening the suspect’s awareness of “let me out” during the interrogation process. The one-way perspective mirror is in the interrogation room. It’s an ideal addition because it can not only increase the anxiety of the suspect, but also allow other police officers to observe the interrogation process and help the interrogator determine which techniques are effective and which techniques are ineffective."
Yu Shuhui snorted and said, "Aren't you all nonsense? The first class of the police academy talked about this. My problem is that I want you to solve this problem, not that you tell me how to solve it. "
Tian Yuming smiled and said, "Go on, it's kind of interesting."
Xu Jiuyan continued: “Before the nine steps of Reid’s interrogation begin, a first meeting will be arranged to determine whether the suspect is guilty. In the first meeting, the interrogator tried to create a non-threatening atmosphere with casual conversation. This establishes a friendly and trusting relationship between themselves and the suspect. People prefer and trust those who are similar to themselves, so the police may ask to share some of the suspect’s interests or beliefs. If the suspect starts to talk to the interrogator about something irrelevant It’s hard for him to stop talking or start lying when the discussion turns to crime.
In the first meeting, the police observed the suspect’s response, including verbal and nonverbal responses, to establish a baseline response before the actual pressure was applied. The police will then use this benchmark as a reference point.
Methods of benchmarking include asking suspects various questions that allow them to use different parts of the brain. The police will ask some irrelevant questions, some need to be recalled, and some need to be considered. When the suspect recalled something, his eyes often moved to the right. This is the external manifestation of his brain stimulating the memory center. When he is thinking about something, his eyes will move up or left, which is a reflection of the activity of his cognitive center. The police must keep in mind these eye movements of the suspect.
The next step is to question the suspect. The police will first ask a few basic questions about the facts of the crime and compare the suspect’s reaction with benchmarks to determine whether he is telling the truth or lying. If the interrogator asks where the suspect was on the night of the crime and the suspect answers truthfully, then the suspect will recall the situation that night and his eyes will move to the right; if he is making up an absent confession, then he will think, he As a result, his eyes will move to the left. If the interrogator determines that the suspect’s response shows that he is lying and all other evidence proves that he is guilty, then the trial of the guilty suspect will begin.
The police stated the criminal facts of the suspect and informed him that he had obtained evidence against the suspect. The evidence may be true or fabricated. The police will generally state the course of the case with a very confident tone, indicating that the suspect has been determined to have participated in the crime. As a result, the psychological pressure of the suspect began to increase. At the same time, the interrogator can walk around the room and invade the suspect’s private space, thereby further increasing the latter’s discomfort. "
"Isn't this a confession?" Yu Shuhui retorted.
After all, Xu Jiuyan is a professional lawyer. Xu Jiuyan explained with her legal knowledge: “The so-called confession refers to the illegal interrogation behavior of investigators who violated relevant laws and regulations and used fraud, inducement, and illegal promises to trick criminal suspects into confessing crimes. The use of improper and illegal means to interrogate criminal suspects not only fails to maintain the dignity of the law and the authority of the national judicial organs, but the illegality of the interrogation behavior leads to the illegality of the interrogation results, so the confession obtained does not have evidence Effectiveness. Therefore, the legality of the interrogation strategy and the illegality of accusation and inducement are the essential differences between the two."
Tian Yuming took the lead and applauded, and said: "Sure enough, he is a rising star of Nanyi City's criminal psychology portraitist. It's really useful."
Xu Jiuyan said somewhat shyly: "I just said my thoughts."
Tian Yuming encouraged: "Come here, everyone has to remember them quickly. The skills the police officer said are much more useful than the clichés in the police academy textbooks."
Xu Jiuyan went on to say: “If the suspect becomes restless, licks his lips or tidy up his appearance, such as tying his hair with his hands, the police will treat these small details as a hint of the suspect’s lying, and can be sure that the police’s interrogation direction is correct.
The interrogator will fabricate a story about why the suspect committed the crime. The theme is compiled by observing the eyes of the suspect to guess why he would commit the crime, why the suspect is willing to believe that the case is his work, and what reasons can make the suspect plead guilty. Does the suspect use a particular mode of reasoning more frequently than others
For example, does he seem willing to blame the victim for the crime? The police design a theme so that the suspect can use this theme to justify his involvement in the crime or find out the reasons, and then the police observe the suspect to determine whether the latter likes the theme. Did he listen more carefully than before? Is he nodding? If so, the policeman will continue to make up along the subject; if not, he will change the subject and start again. The theme preparation is hidden behind the interrogation process and runs through the beginning and the end. When compiling the subject, the interrogator’s tone was soft and gentle, and the voice of his speech made the suspect not feel threatened at all, and induced the suspect to think it was safe.
Asking the suspect to deny his crime will increase his confidence, so the police will try to interrupt all denials of the crime, and sometimes tell the suspect that he will be given a chance to speak for a while, but now he needs to listen to the police. From the beginning of the interrogation, the police will pay attention to the suspect's intention to deny the crime and stop him before he speaks. To prevent the suspect from denying the crime, in addition to keeping his confidence low, it also keeps the suspect quiet, so there is no opportunity to seek help from a lawyer. If the suspect does not deny during the theme preparation process, the police will take this as a signal to confirm the suspect's guilt. If the initial attempt to deny is gradually reduced or stopped when the subject is being compiled, the interrogator will know that he has found a good subject, and the suspect is getting closer and closer to the confession.
After the interrogator has fully compiled a subject involving the suspect, the suspect may propose a logical rebuttal, rather than a simple denial. If the police handle it properly, the result of the rebuttal will be more like a confession. At this point, the suspect will feel frustrated and undecided. He may want to find someone to help him out of this situation. "(End of this chapter)
