Explain the difference between an interrogation and an investigative interview.

What will be an ideal response?


Any questioning that is intended to produce information regarding a particular crime or regarding a person believed responsible for a crime is called an investigative interview. By contrast, an interrogation is any questioning or other action that is intended to elicit incriminating information from a suspect when the information is intended to be used in a criminal prosecution. Interrogations are generally more confrontational and usually done while the suspect is in custody. Also, during an interrogation, law enforcement is required to read the suspect their Miranda rights.
