What are the primary issues covered in the Reid technique?

What will be an ideal response?


The Reid technique is a three-part process consisting of fact analysis, a behavior analysis interview, and a nine-step interrogation stage. Awareness of the differences among offenders is incorporated into the Reid technique, which classifies offenders as emotional or nonemotional. Offenders differ considerably based on the level of guilt they experience, so the interrogator must change tactics to be successful in moving a subject to confess.
