The Challenges and How to Overcome ThemThere are many challenges that an officer faces when it comes to interviews and interrogations. Some challenges include finding out if someone is a possible suspect through information received in an interview, preparation for the interrogation, issues with the legality of Miranda warnings, deception on the part of the officer, emotional balance, and, above all, the prevention of false confessions. discovered by a suspect during an interrogation can cause Finding the correct attitude and structure of the interrogation to play a huge role in the success of the interview or interrogation. The structure of the interrogation will also determine success. When Miranda rights were established, police had difficulty obtaining information from suspects. Suspects were more likely to be given the right to an attorney or to answer questions more vaguely, resulting in longer and less effective interrogations. Officers looked for other ways to obtain confessions without violating Miranda rights. Many psychological techniques became more common, such as the “good cop, bad cop” routine; one detective appears to interrogate the suspect while the other appears to protect him, creating a relationship of trust between the "good cop" and the suspect. Officers now also inform the suspect of all the terrible things they could face if they are convicted of the crime, and appear to help the suspect by promising a less severe punishment if they cooperate with the police. “For a while, police tried to use the polygraph to determine whether the suspect was lying, but polygraphs and polygraph training are expensive and the results are almost never admissible in court” (Layton, 2011). half of the paper......I wasn't committed. The 104 participants were paired up, one was the interrogator and the other was the suspect in a fake robbery. Some of the suspects were to be labeled “guilty” while others were labeled “not guilty.” The interrogators had 10 minutes to ask questions and then tell the judge their opinion and how confident they were in their opinion. The results of the experiment showed that interrogators of innocent suspects exerted greater pressure for confession than of guilty ones. Furthermore, innocent people were found guilty more often than those who committed the crime. This information parallels other data discovered during actual interrogations. Officers often assume guilt before they have enough evidence to prove it, and when the interrogation doesn't go as expected, they tend to try to extract a confession..
