Narrative-Based Interrogation

After dating a 15- year- old girl named Sarah, George was allegedly accused of raping her. Per Sarah, she has an unpleasant disagreement with her parents that George stated was over nudity pictures she sent to the guys at their high school. Continuing with her story, Sarah did not allow him to take off her clothes and thrust himself between her thighs. George actions were forced and alarmed Sarah to tell her parents and her parents notified authorities.
Moreover, the authorities were notified, a raped kit was collected, and interviews between the suspect, the victim, and their parents were also done. There are several different interrogation tactics used by law enforcement. These are direct confrontation, theme development, dealing with resistance,

alternative questions, and developing details. All the tactics can be applied in any one interrogation. However, depending on the context and the suspect, certain tactics may be more applicable, and others may not be used at all. Since 50 percent of interrogation fail due to noncompliance from the suspect, the tactic of narrative base interview was clearly decided.
The detectives used narrative based interview which was a good idea in conducting an interview with the subject George.

Interrogations are often perceived as much more hostile, antagonistic, and perhaps to some degree, even frightening. The success rate of the narrative-based interview is 80 percent. The interviewer asked questions and all the suspect to speak so that George doesn’t feel complex. This way he doesn’t try to improvise the answers. We can stop deception by 68 percent and eyesight. I do not think there was a better way for the detectives to conduct this interview. I believe this method has suffice the basics or enough information retrieval to Sarah’s

story.
In the event that, the interview develops no significant information or nonchalant attitude from the suspect it is intuitive and very conversational to build rapport with the suspect. The interviewer created an atmosphere of stating he remember what it’s like being 15 years old. This was done to facilitate the subjects best use of memory and to so assure George that everyone young male has had moments of sexual desire that this is no place to be judge but merely honest. The interviewer was sympathizing and obtaining a baseline of trust and understanding.
Surely, throughout the interview George demonstrated lots of nonverbal and verbal cues that delivered his speech or his story in a tone displaying both integrity and deceit based on the final call of the interviewer. Indeed, denial flag expression verbally announced by George,
“I don’t like Sarah that much”
“I really wanted her to leave”
“Who wants to chill with a girl who is crying”
Those above statements could have been said to aid himself away from being a target.

It also symbols a defensive mechanism of introvert honesty that he has not accepted himself. At the point, the interview was not getting answers but validation to George being hurt that Sarah has made a statement rapport against him. The verbal content of displacement:
“I have plenty women to have sex with” this was said with an aggravated tone so that the interviewer can view him as satisfactory, not depressed, and reason with him that sexual encounters with Sarah to be unfavorable or not necessary. If George can persuade this to the interviewer, then he can feel relief or tension from any lies he have not prepared yet.
When George first began speaking he referred to Sarah’s parents as her parents. Shortly after he referred to Sarah’s same parents as they. During this moment of the interview George has displayed a form of honesty through vocabulary. Giving ownership to pronouns are considered a form of deceit, but once you refer to pronouns in a third party, it is deemed as truth. They party conversation is common and when not given the intention to betray or compel the truth, third party speech is fluent and more

frequent.
Instantly, George admitted to the kiss by accepting the fact that he did in fact get touchy with Sarah. Gray statements appeared in the interview when he said “Sarah and I were kissing but I didn’t rape her, is that what she said happened.” This statement also validated that George in Sarah did exchange some form of close touch. George continues, “she was upset nothing else happened she left.” The interviewer disrupts the subject memory recall when he asked him how was they laying on the couch. George pounder a split second before responding. This was an example of a nonverbal cue that he could have done intentionally so emphasize he is putting thought into his answer or he could have done the abruptly because he wasn’t prepared on answering that without incriminating himself.
Presently, George places his right hand between his eyes piercing the crown of his nose. This was a nonverbal cue of sadness or frustration.” Yall making me upset accusing me of something I didn’t do” George snapped. This verbal statement can be emotional arousal at the fear of being caught of an accused crime. This was also a complain statement to draw for sympathy and maybe draw an end to this interview session.
Overall, George’s information sounds reliable but its negative credibility of the emotional stress, Sarah’s sudden leave, stating that he wasn’t aware what a DNA sample was but, mentioned that his DNA would be found on Sarah’s lips and the dreaded quality information that he didn’t want to watch a chick flick. The data collected and development of the interview research will be carefully reviewed before moving forward to prosecute George on his behavior.
