Examine a non-confrontational, rapport-based approach to interviewing suspects in cases of stereotypical child abduction, where sexual assault or homicide may be involved. Rather than relying on predetermined themes, investigators will learn how to influence suspects to provide their own justifications or excuses --creating a psychological pathway for the disclosure of detailed information about the crime. The emphasis is on establishing trust, listening carefully to the suspect's account, and presenting evidence through a sincere, non-threatening approach. This method aims to help investigators uncover the truth while avoiding aggressive tactics that could lead to resistance or false statements. Participants will learn how to balance active listening with strategic contradictions to get to the truth.
