Outline the proper approach for interrogating suspects in cases of child pornography. How does this differ from other interrogation styles?

What will be an ideal response?


The proper approach for interrogating suspects in cases of child pornography follows:
? Make a direct accusation statement that is convincing in its delivery to the suspect; interrupt and dismiss denials.
? Avoid using judgmental terms and use interrogation themes (RPMs). Themedevelopment offers suspects a logical reason why they committed the crime by excusing their behavior.
? Rationalize the crime (e.g., “I understand your situation; you love kids so much and you never meant to hurt anyone.”).
? Project the blame onto others (e.g., “The problem is that parents don’t spend enough time with their children.”).
? Minimize the offense (e.g., “We’re not talking about hurting children here. We’re only talking about a few photographs.”).
This approach shows compassion, unlike other methods of interrogation.
