POLICE INTERVIEW TECHNIQUES
Abstract
With the introduction of recording facilities in police interview rooms, the techniques that officers adopt when questioning suspects are being increasingly subjected to scrutiny. The research reported in this article, based upon 600 audio and video tapes recorded in three police forces in 1989 and 1990, examines the way in which interviews with suspects were conducted. The study suggests that greater efforts will need to be made in the future if public concern about interview procedures is to be assuaged.

“This second source of biases (Level 2) arises in many aspects across the justice and legal systems, from police investigations (Baldwin, 1993; Wagenaar et al., 1993) to evidence about shaken baby syndrome (Lynøe et al., 2017).”

In the citing paper
“Another example in the wider context of the justice and legal systems is police officers who are often trained to presume a suspect is guilty. Such a suspicion against suspects creates bias and generates evidence (such as false confessions) that can lead to wrongful convictions (Baldwin, 1993; Inbau et al., 2001; Kassin et al., 2003).”

In the citing paper
“A hypothesis can create bias as it often entails confirmation and other biases that generate evidence, confirming that hypothesis while ignoring (or dismissing) conflicting evidence (Baldwin, 1993; Klayman & Ha, 1987; Wagenaar et al., 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
