The resister, the talker and the confessor: A closer look at suspect responses in investigative interviews Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-11 Christopher E. Kelly, Elizabeth M. Jenaway, Akiko Kyong‐McClain, Michael McClary, Nathan Meehan
Research on investigative interviewing tends to focus on a limited number of interview methods employed during an interview in pursuit of a singular outcome. The present study took an expansive view of the techniques used, questions asked and interviewer disposition, and related them to three interview goals—overcoming resistance, gathering information and eliciting confessions. Drawing upon theory

The effect of confession evidence on conviction, and considering alternative scenarios as remedy in a sample of police officers Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Neville Niccolson, Eric Rassin
In order to prevent tunnel vision and ultimately miscarriages of justice, police, prosecutors and judges must remain open to alternative scenarios in which the suspect is in fact innocent. However, it is not evident from the literature that people are sufficiently aware of how alternative scenarios should be employed in the decision making process. In the present research, 230 Dutch police officers

Offence, offender, and victim characteristics in South Korean filicides, 1948–1962: A descriptive study Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-08-04 Leah C. J. Shon, Phillip C. Shon
Filicide is defined as the killing of children from birth to age 18 by a natural or step-parent. The legal definition of filicide in Korea does not impose such age limits. Although families in contemporary Korea are nuclear in structure, they were multigenerational prior to the industrialisation that occurred during the second half of the twentieth century. While psychiatric and evolutionary theories
