Criminal Investigation Jeremy

 
The wording alone, interrogation or interview, can be seen in different lights or how you do things.  Interrogation is more like an Officer trying use techniques that seem more hostile to force a suspect to incriminate themselves or trying to get them to confess to a crime (Areh, 2016).  Now in Law Enforcement every Officer would love to have a criminal just confess to what they did, but that is not always the case.  Sometimes using this way can lead to false confessions to get it over with, than getting to the truth (Areh, 2016).  The other approach is the interview technique.  The interview technique is about gathering information from the suspect on about what happened (Areh, 2016).  This is a safer approach and leads to less false confessions (Areh, 2016).  A lot of Law Enforcement agencies have changed their wording in their policies and the name of the room to interview room instead of interrogation room, because it sounds better.
            I say all of that to say this, Law Enforcement has to set up their mindset before you start talking/interviewing to people or suspects.  Just like in this week’s required reading a Law Enforcement Officer might not do certain thing throughout their career, but one thing they will always do is talk to people (Strandberg, 2015).  Sometimes in Law Enforcement emotions and tension run high when working cases like mass shootings, child being murder, or rapes.  Law Enforcement Officers can’t go into an interview letting their emotions control them, because that can make that interview turn into an interrogation and then they might get a false confession instead of getting at the truth.  Emotions can help drive Law Enforcement Officer to do their best, but it can also blind them from to any other possible solutions if they let their emotions take completely over
