Part A — Compare and Contrast.
Choose two of the four techniques covered in the article (Cognitive Interview, child interviewing, behavior-oriented interviews, reluctant-witness strategies). Explain how each technique applies the reading's core principle of non-accusatory, fact-gathering interviewing. In what specific ways do the two techniques differ in their assumptions about memory, credibility, or cooperation?
Part B — Apply the Concept.
Imagine you are assisting on an investigation in which a 9-year-old child is the only witness to a crime, and the child's parent is reluctant to let the child speak with investigators. Using concepts from the article, describe how you would sequence your approach. Which technique(s) would you draw on first, and why? What would you deliberately avoid doing, based on the evidence discussed in the article?
Part C — Evaluate the Evidence.
The article notes that experimental research found truth-tellers sometimes appear more nervous than liars, and that the developers of the Behavior Analysis Interview concede accuracy "no better than chance" in laboratory studies. Given this, should behavior-oriented observation play any role in real interviews at all? Defend your conclusion with reasoning and evidence from the article.
