SELF-CHECK FN-1.1.

1. If an interrogator elects to use the rationalization, it might be necessary to correct it after the first admission.

2. The interrogator then begins to overcome the hurdle by again showing understanding and refocusing the suspect on
the future or past.

3. This rationalization can be used for theft of money or some types of property

4. These rationalizations can be used for thefts, accidents, damage to property, rape, child abuse, and homicide when it
is known that the suspect has a problem with drugs or alcohol.

5. The use of this rationalization might require the interrogator to reinterrogate to establish the element of intent.

1. The _______________ is most likely to be a truthful statement that is made by the guilty suspect. The suspect is
attempting to sidetrack the interrogator by having the interrogator challenge what is often a true statement.

2. The truthful suspect continually interrupts the rationalizations with protestations of innocence, and denials sound
spontaneous and genuine.

3. This is done by the interrogator’s physically changing positions.

4. Once the suspect attempts to break into the conversation with a denial, the interrogator interrupts as he would to
control any denial but instead offers a statement designed to

5. When people hear their names, they immediately stop what they were about to do or say and pay attention to the
speaker. As we grew, when people called our name, we realized that we were doing something inappropriate or that
somebody needed us

1. The interrogator immediately fills the pause with a follow-up question that exaggerates the seriousness of the
suspect’s involvement

2. The interrogator makes the soft accusation in a slow, deliberate voice, to address some aspect of the crime.

3. It differs by offering the suspect two incriminating choices from which to choose and is an extension of the
rationalization previously offered to the suspect.

4. The _____________________ is generally used at the conclusion of the introductory statement or participatory
accusation.

5. The __________________________ tests the waters when the interrogator recognizes behavioral clues that the
suspect is in submission.
1. The ability to generate implications will increase the productivity of an investigator by using the investigative
resources in a direction that will prove most fruitful.

2. Is best accomplished in the latter stage of the development phase when a fresh interrogator can rework areas covered
by the primary interrogator

3. This technique can also be effective in establishing a suspect’s knowledge of other individuals’ involvement. The
interrogator asks a suspect to rank other individual’s honesty from one to ten, with ten being the most honest, and
begins with the most reputable people.

4. The interrogator should return to each area previously discussed and attempt to gather additional admissions from
the suspects. It can be frustrating for the interrogator to be spoon fed small admissions by the suspect, who all the while
is lying about his involvement.

5. An interrogator who is confident and expects the suspect to give an implication is often rewarded with a name.

1. Any documentation of the feeding of the suspect should also be retained. In many instances, a department will bring
in food from the outside.

2. As each page is completed by the suspect, the interviewer should remove that page from the desk and conceal it in his
case file to protect it from being destroyed. Statements left within reach of the suspect can quickly become damaged or
destroyed.

3. At this point, page by page, the suspect is asked to initial any scratch outs or corrections made and sign each page of
the statement. The suspect is told that this is done to assure that the suspect is the one who made the corrections and
nobody else altered the statement in any way.

4. This is done by asking the suspect if everything that he or she wrote is true.

The suspect will generally acknowledge that it is the truth the truth.

5. This is done for several reasons. First, having the suspect make a total overall admission to the crime sets the stage for
later substantiation. It also gives the jury or hearing officer an opportunity to hear the blanket admission first; the
blanket admission will grab their attention
