Person descriptions often lack the level of detail necessary to assist in the apprehension of a perpetrator. To date, it is not clear how person descriptions are obtained by frontline police officers. Worldwide, many police forces now use body worn video (BWV), which provides a unique opportunity to examine how frontline police officers gather person descriptions from witnesses. We examined how person descriptions (N = 207) were elicited by frontline police officers, with a particular focus on the types of questions used. BWV of 81 interactions involving 45 frontline police officers and 141 witnesses were analysed. Person descriptions were obtained using inappropriate questions 50.54% of the time, with leading questions being the most commonly used (44.84%). Appropriate questions (i.e., open questions) led to more information being provided (cf. inappropriate questions), including more fine‐ and coarse‐grain details. Implications for the training of frontline police officers are discussed.

“他只是你典型的普通人”检查前线警察对人的描述是如何引起的

人员描述通常缺乏帮助逮捕肇事者所需的详细程度。迄今为止,目前尚不清楚前线警官如何获得人员描述。在全球范围内,许多警察现在都在使用随身视频(BWV),这为检查前线警官如何从证人那里收集人的描述提供了独特的机会。我们研究了人物描述(N= 207)是由前线警察引诱的,尤其着重于所使用的问题类型。分析了涉及45名一线警察和141名证人的81次互动的BWV。50.54%的情况下,使用不适当的问题获得了人的描述,其中最常见的是引导性问题(44.84%)。适当的问题(即未解决的问题)导致提供了更多的信息(参见不适当的问题),包括更多的细粒度和粗粒度的详细信息。讨论了对培训一线警务人员的影响。
