a machine designed to detect and record changes in physiological characteristics, such as a person's pulse and breathing rates, used especially as a lie detector.
The publicity generated by the Making a Murderer series has generated a renewed condemnation for interrogation techniques that are unethical, use bullying tactics and tend to elicit false confessions. Todayâs investigators must be aware of the dangers of using aggressive interrogation tactics that intimidate witnesses and compromise the quality of the information they glean from interview subjects.

The polygraph test is used to test the truthfulness of a subject and gives its results on the basis of several physiological indices when the subject is asked a series of questions. The reports of this test can be used as a corroborative evidence in courts.
Ethical Investigation Interviews: The PEACE ModelCase IQ
Â
The aggressive, intimidating interrogation tactics you see on television donât always work. Not only can they discourage the interviewee from giving you the information you need, but also they have been shown, on occasion, to elicit false confessions. A more conversational interviewing style, based on science, which builds trust and rapport, is the way forward, say some psychologists. This philosophy is encapsulated in the PEACE Model of investigative interviewing, developed in the early 90s and used by law enforcement in the UK, Canada, Australia since then.
It is the beginning point for obtaining evidence which will be used by the crime scene investigator and the forensic expert
A thorough investigation of the crime scene must be completed
Crime scene is basically a scene of occurrence of crime. It is a place where a particular crime has been committed.
It is starting point for the investigator.

Tommy Seah Interviewing techniques and Fraud InvestigationCSIWorldHq
Â
Inspired by the popular television drama CSI, Certified Trainers at CSI World Headquarters have trialed methods used by forensic scientists at crime scenes to collect evidence and present evidence in Court for criminal prosecution and civil litigation. After years of heuristic research and empirical studies, Tommy has devised a CSI Certified Investigative Methods and Interviewing Techniques for all who desire to acquire the skill set to perform an effective investigation. Because of the continuous evolvement in technology, some measure of Cyber forensic skill will also be taught to complete the investigative skill set. The data extracted by digital forensics method can then used by police as evidence in crimes.
Investigative interviewing is an essential aspect of the investigative process investigators, loss prevention agents, internal auditors or other investigators. As most information comes from people; it is necessary to have knowledge and proficiency in interviewing. An interview is a conversation intended to elicit information. Interviews are generally non-accusatory. During the course of an investigation the investigator will conduct interviews with all available witnesses and potential suspects. The investigator should ask open-ended questions in an attempt to elicit as much information as possible. We will teach you how to make the subject do most (75%) of the talking during the conversation. If, during the interview it is found that the subject has lied, the investigator should generally not confront the subject. In most cases it is best to challenge a lie during a follow-up interview or once the interviewer has transitioned into an interrogation. And, this is what this program is all about.

Everybody lies sometimes. This is true. Research has shown that 60 per cent of people lie at least once in a 10-minute conversation with a stranger. But many lies are benign, constructed to preserve someoneâs feelings, save face or avoid damaging a relationship. These lies are usually harmless, expected and appreciated.
Dishonesty in the workplace, however, can be dangerous. From the lies told in employment interviews to tales spun in the boardroom, workplace dishonesty can affect a companyâs security, morale and bottom line. HR professionals and investigators should be skilled and trained to detect lies.
Join Timothy Dimoff, security expert and president of SACS Consulting, as he discusses workplace dishonesty and what to do about it.
In response to growing concern about accountability in our communities, Cherry Hill Seminary has released a free media presentation called Don't Look Away: Recognizing & Responding to Abuse for Non-Professionals.
Don't Look Away was created to help individuals and small groups better understand the nature of sexual abuse and appropriate ways to respond, as well as what to do if you have been abused, yourself.
"So many of us, unless we are a professional trained in such matters, don't really know what to do or not do when we are confronted with possible abuse," said Executive Director Holli Emore. "For far too long, we have either not recognized the signs of abuse among us, or we have looked away, assuming, hoping, that someone else will take care of the problem. But those problems don't go away by themselves."
Don't Look Away is intended for a general, public audience; that is, it is not a scholarly piece. It is simple, direct and to the point. The additional resource links enable the viewer to pursue further information, if they wish. Cherry Hill Seminary also offers extensive coursework in ethics, pastoral counseling, and related issues.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
Â
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more âmechanicalâ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

do the right thing

īē You could loose your credibility
ī¨ Frazier vs. Cupp
īĄ US Supreme Court approved the use of trickery and

īĄ You can lie as long at it does not shock the

58. ī¨ Bombard the suspect with confirmed solid
evidence that you have.
īĄ Count it out on your fingers
īĄ This looks really bad for you
īĄ Show him picture of himself and ask him who it is.
īĄ Criticize his sloppy work
īē You left so much evidence
59. ī¨ When signs of surrender begin to appear
īĄ Feeling Channel
īē Decision to tell the truth or not
īē Where you want them
ī¨ Suspect lowers his eyes and head
ī He may have accepted his guilt and is thinking about
admitting to what he has done.
ī Possible tears (no tissues, let it flow)
īĄ Move in close
īē Give him alternative between acceptable and
unacceptable reason for committing the crime
īĄ Ask for Confession
īē Just tell me what happened
60. ī¨ Once you have your initial admission
īĄ Encourage suspect to talk about the aspects of the
crime.
īĄ Admission should include elements that they would
know if they committed the crime.
īē Evidence that you did not reveal
ī¨ Note in your report
īĄ Voluntary statement or recorded.
61. ī¨ Stay away from legal terms
īĄ Murder caused death
īĄ Rape forced to have sex
īĄ Steal take
īĄ Confess tell the truth

īē Until confession then specific.
Editor's Notes
Find out what the hell happened. And to gather all the information you can.
Types of wittness/ Listener, sight, feel ect.
Persistent; donât give up easy, time may have a factor in UP. Donât get angry â disappointed okay that subject not being truthful. Sympathetic- even if done the worse kind of thing, rape, child abuse difficult to deal with. Easier for men to protray sympathy toward wife beater that female officer.
The very mention of the word interrogation can generate images of torture, harsh and illegal actions by police. Police shows and the media attention to the ones where police acted inappropriately, you never hear about the good ones. Because of this Police will often find themselves defending the use of interrogation. In court. you have to be ready to define your interrogations. The second you say interrogation. The jury gets these images of the TV and news versions. We contacted Mr. Anderson advised him of our investigation and then advised him of his rights. Mr. Andersonâ, initially he denied any knowledge of the theft, but after presenting him with the evidence he subsequently admitted to taking the money. Defense attorney âdonât you mean when you Interrogated my client until he confessed. â we advised him of his rights and convinced him that telling the truth was the easiest thing to do. Note: Just because you have a confession, doesn'tâ mean you donât do rest of investigation and evidence collection. Motion to suppress confession is upheld, you need evidence to late to go back and get it. Like, if you donât take the time to interview witnesses and get contact info, hard to find later. Records, etc. not available later.
Objective : ID Witness (preferably eyewitnesses first): Were you here when this happened? (shot, etc.), tell me what happened? (Donât forget other witnesseshat might tell you the Why? Just not an eyewitness) Information, evidence, confession, turth. Can I talk to you for a minute, not come here I want to talk to you. Use nice tone. Review the case : look over witness statements and notes and compare as you go along. Know the elements : West Law Dict., you will know everyday charges, uncommon ones need Law Dict ..(Test?) Know the interviewee : ask witnesses âWho it the most important person I the suspects life?â If you know he/she has kids, etc. can use in interrogation?(use the later in confess. Techniques), violent, ask wit and family, what is he going to say, how is he going to react? Location: Safety first, in unit-if sus. Donât forget free to leave vs. rights! If he ask to get out, will you let him go, be prepared to explain, why unit? Away from suspect and other witnesses. Need to be cool in front of their people. Witnesses are more likely to give a truthful and accurate statement if you interview them separately, away from others, to avoid fears of reprisal or intimidation . Participate: maximum two officers (minors, women esp.), When ? Interview wit. As soon as possible after an incident: memories fade, witnesses compare stories and they change. What will the interview tell you ? Keep in mind there is no legal obligation for the interviewee to provide information. Lieing to the police is not a crime for the most part, FBI diff. story, ? Accessory after the fact-hard to prosecute.
Amazing the effect a hand shake and introduction will have on your subject and his willingness to cooperative. Officer John Windham (John is important, use more on witnesses and cooperative suspects). Sgt. Windham with irrate, yelling screaming ass holes. Gives authority, a lot donât have parental figure, father figure, and need that extra incentitive to cooperate. Who you work for is more of Detective thing, during follow up, Det. Windham, Burglary Division, Homicide. Etc. , or if travel out of parish, state etc. What you want? Witness or poss. suspect: Iâm trying to find out what happened can you help me out? Were you here, do you know the victim (use name)? If fol. Up next day or later, explain investigation. Iâm here about a/the shooting that occurred at/on, etc.? Sus.: Can I talk to you about what happened? Hey buddy can I talk to you for a second? Why, I ainât done nothing wrong? She accusing me? âOneâ, you probably got the right guy. Respond: âWhy, Should she be?â If you havenât done anything wrong, nothing to worry about, if you made a mistake or bad decisions (not if you murdered, rape, etc.) then I would like to find out why this happened?
Questions designed to prompt the suspect/witness to give a narrative response rather than just a yes or no answer. Resist the urge to interrupt during the narrative response, with additional question, one of the most common errors. Listen to what is being said and concentrate on what is being said and how, look for deceptive indicators ( will go over some of those later), important details left out , ex: I came over around 3:00 we were playing cards inside for about an hour, next thing I know she comes out and starts accusing me of taking her money. Itâs 5:00, what happened between 4 and 5 (he left out went in bedroom and took money). Girlfriend comp. simple battery, suspect: what happened? I came over we got in an argument and I left, thatâs pretty much it. Pretty much it is when he hit her. Only provide minimal encourgaes: em emm, uh huh, go on, ok etc., designed to keep going, What happened next, what did you do then, Come back with specific questions (closed end questions) after to clarify and get specific answers. Exception: Violent crime just happened or suspect fled the scene, Get your description put it out on radio. Care for injured. If you ask this and they say, what do you want to know, Everything thatâs relevant, more is better? Where should I start, at the beginning?
Multiple choice : Gives them a specific choice. Sometimes you will want to put one of the correct choices from prior interviews as one of the options. Border line leading question. Example: Red or black car. Black is color four of you witnesses gave you. In your report, witness said car was black. Good technique: If you ask what color was the car? The Witness is trying to recall, you ask âWas it light or dark?â, ans: Dark. That should be okay. Especially if it is night time. Donât forget to ask : âDid You do it ?â Did you hurt your wife, force her to have sex, take the money? Not murder, beat up, âStealâ? Once you get admission then be more specific- hurt to stab, shoot, rape, etc. As a negotiator times when talked with person 3 or 4 hours and then ask to come out and here they come, why not sooner, you never asked. Interview/interrogation, early on ask if done it. A lot of officers scared to ask out of fear of accusing the wrong person. Supreme court said okay. No civil remedy for wrongly accusing during interview. Yes and no questions are good for detecting whether or not the subject is telling the truth : Rule of thumb: If they donât say no they meant âYesâ. Ex: Did you hurt your wife? I love her, why would I hurt her. Q: Did you force her to have sex? We have been dating for 4 weeks, we have had sex before. Q: Did you take the money? My parents give me everything I need, I donât need there money. Or Noooooooo, Look for a pattern, they constantly respond the same way may be there habit or way of saying NO. Ex: Nope, not me. No uh un. Yeah uh huh.
These are asking for specific information, but the answer should be followed with some narrative. âYes, I did, I saw Billy out in his back yard, with a shovel, rather than just a yes. 2. Yes, he had on âĻ.. Again: listen for deceptive indicators, Well ummm, let me see, I donât know, I canât remember (but them get everything else about that night to a T).
Hand outs: Indicator questions are used to evaluate a persons level of truthfulness or deception. They permit you the opportunity to asses the answer as to what a truthful person would be likely to say vs. what a deceptive person would be likely to say. Used mostly on suspects or in the case of multiple suspects, to determine who done it. Charles Weldon use to walk in with questions and go through each suspect until he found the one. Usually very sucessful. 1 st Question: Truthful: No, if they stole they should be fired, arrested, Liar: yes, if they pay the money back, we all make mistakes. 2 nd Question: Truthful: I donât know, I wasnât there (they will try and figure it out). Liar: They are lieing, will attack.
Bi Polar are yes and no questions, closed end questions.
Can you describe the car for me? What color was the car? Possible problems of leading is a witness that wants to help or a know it all might give you the answer that you gave, which could be wrong? Or a deceptive person will purposely give you a different color. Not a bad idea if testing the truthfulness, but be careful. Once a person ties themselve into a response, sometimes hard to get them off of it. Suspects included.
One or the other first and then follow up. Another problem is asking two many questions at once or before the person gives you and answer. Especially if they are lieing, you have a tendency to brake in. Or you will think of a good question and throw it out before they finish.
Better: What happened just before he came up to you? What did you do when he grabbed you? Again, slow and give time for an answer. Hard to do some times, but will get best information.
Better; Is there anything else I need to know?
If you want to impress detectvies get more contact info. Adsi, gives you one phone no., list work, cell in narrative. Get work place info. Also once they and you leave the scene, they may feel more comfortable giving information, so give them the district phone number. Also they may need to add serial numbers, property etc. if victim. Easier if you just add to original. If other Up officer does supp. Not always pulled up and may miss. Do not tell them to call the pawn shop division. Have them contact the divison for the crime, ie. Burglary and that detective can check. Can tell them if they havenât heard from a Det. In a week cal division. If Witness call if info, home address change. Also you will find that you will be going to same location over and over. Leave a positive impression will get you info more often on the next time.
Play what if.
Just look at all the stuff thatâs going on with the deceptive person vs. truthful person. Eye contact: look for the break at critical points, or when you ask questions and the answer would confirm there quilt or innocents coupled with a deceptive response. Were you outside when you heard the shot? Um, I donât think so? As he looks away. Deceptive persons will you the look me in the eye tactic as a qualifier for how truthful they want to appear. A shy innocent person may not be able to look you in the eye, because of there general fear of the police or an authority figure. Movement same as eye contact, look for sudden changes at critical points. Ex: subject is sitting with his hands crossed (he doesnât want to answer you) and you ask him, âIs there any reason why your fingerprints would be on that baggie? He crosses his legs, puts his hands over his mouth, looks to the side and says, âI donât know, there shouldnât be, cause I didnât have no dope?â Hand outs: If you really want to increase the tention, mirror their movements. When you are giving your theme as to why they should confess, watch for a change in the posture from a closed âI ainât talking, admitting to nothing stanceâ to an open posture, good time to say is that what happened hear and give them an out: everyone involved in the decision on what do to with Jim about this can understand that and would want to help you out, but you got to take the first step.
Hedger: Q: Any reason why your car would have been seen in that neighborhood, yesterday? Maybe not to best of your knowledge three years ago, but yesterday should be fresh in your mind. WDA-Wrong damn anwer. Right answer, not yesterday and I donât think Iâve ever been in that neighborhood, in that car. Lack of knowledge I donât recall, leaving themselves an out if you pin them down Modifier: at end of an open question: Tell me what happened? WDA= I picked her up, we went to a movie, we got in an argument, so I took her home and thatâs about it . He left out the rape. Bill Clinton interview:
Do you have any drugs in your car? I swear to god, Man I donât even do drugs ? WDA. Be careful how you ask the question: Are there any drugs in your glove compartment? NO (truthful answer,because they are under the seat) Or do you have any drugs on you? No (again truthful answer, because they are in the car, not on him). Now if you ask the above to questions and then say Do you have any drugs in your car? And you get the I swear deal, you got a better gage on whether or not there are drugs in the car. Also look for your non verbal shifts. If you ask a question you should get an anwer? If â â and you get a question back, Why would I? WDA Ifâ â and you get a statement back, She is a liar, Honestly, I didnât even notice? WDA
What was the question? Answer should of got= No, Later: I didnât inhale : Lack of conviction, modifier or qualifier.
Also not that, Husband doesnât use I, why would I do anything. Pronoun shift, hard to pick up on verbal statements, use on written statements. Basically, use third person instead of first person. He did it and knows why, but knows a man shouldnât. To tell the truth: When that comes in and itâs not been used, why did they need to preempt that statement. Does that mean that they had been lying about everything else and now the are going to tell you the truth. Be careful not to use this when your testifying. Donât use this stuff at home, you have to turn it off. Interrogating and Interview require concentration and causes pressure and stress, if you leave this on 24 -7 you want last long. If you concentrate on what everyone is saying and analyze it you will drive your self crazy and those you love crazy. We all exaggerate about the big fish, how bad we are hurt, etc., donât analyze everystory coming your way. Hell, if you listen close enough to me youâll find out Iâm bullshiting you on some of this stuff.
Concealment: Short answers, no descriptions, no sensory description in statements, particularly to open questions. Ex: He had a something in his hand and held it against my throat. Vs. The knifeâs handle was wrapped with black electrical tape, I could feel the rough edge of the blade when he rubbed it against my throat. Listen for vivid details using sensory words ( I felt, I saw, I heard, etc.) Falsify: hedgers, qualifers, modifiers, lack of knowledge, lack of conviction: best I can remember, as far as I know, kind of, thatâs about it. Maybe put in Ray Lewis stuff here or next slide.
Had no, is not, past tense answer with presents tense. He had one but itâs over since everyone found out. He had a conversation about her testimony.
Continuously, oblviously not because he didnât hear them.
Subject yelling screaming, bows up, comes at you while making these statements, or stands up yelling. Calmly: should I be,or Yes, She did, now I want to hear your side of this and give you the opportunity to tell me what happened.
These are barriers to the truth, take this away from him right away. Iâm a Christian, great, Iâm a Christian too, but that doesnât mean I donât make mistakes, Jesus was the only perfect person and he told us that we would make mistakes and thatâs when we are suppose to turn to him and ask for forgiveness and then do the right thing. We canât change the things we done, we ask forgiveness. And then repent. My mom gives me anything I want: and thatâs why she is going to be upset, but I know she taught you to do the right thing, what do you want mom to hear, her sons a criminal or he made a mistake and he needs your love right now. Iâve been her 18 years and have never been accused of taking anything : not only did she steal what your there for now ,but she had stolen before and never been accused.
Truthful person will give No with no rise in emotion unless wrongly accused repeatedly. Othelloâs Error: Straight âNoâ = truthful (test)
Othello accuses his wife Desdemona of loving Cassio. Othello tells her to confess since he is going to kill her for her treachery. Desdemona asks Othello to call Cassio to testify to her innocence. Othello says he has already had Cassio murdered. Desdemona realises that she will not be able to prove her innocence and that Othello will kill her.Desdemona: Alas, he is betrayed, and I undone!Othello: Out, strumpet! Weep'st thou for him to my face?Desdemona: O, banish me, my lord, but kill me not!Othello: Down, strumpet! So what was Othello's error? Not the failure to spot how Desdemona was feeling, for he knew she was anguished and afraid. His error was believing that emotions have only one source--he interpreted her anguish as due to the news of her supposed lover's death and her fear as that of an unfaithful wife caught in betrayal. He kills her without considering that her emotions were those of an innocent woman who knows that her intensely jealous husband is about to kill her and she cannot prove her innocence
Pat folder or waive notepad, or pat video tapes. If overwhelming evidence can start this from beginning, get rights in first or get through theme and say, now Iâm gonna ask you some questions and you have to make the decision on how you want to look? But before I do that I need to read your rights, because as you know we are required to do this before we ask any questions. But Iâm hoping you gonna do the right thing and get all this straight so the people that are going to make the decisions on what to do with Jim are gonna want to help instead of hurt Jim. OK. Or this comes after you interview the suspect and deception indicators and indicator questions lead you to believe this is your suspect. Close you folder and direct accusation. If interview room, get up after interview (usually after indicator questions, come in room and immediately accuse statement. Be ready for an immediate confession.
The closer you are personally the closer you are emotionally. A truthful person will get stronger with the denials and refuse to buy into your theme. A deceptive persons denials will get weaker, which indicates you are making progress. This is different that denying your questions, let them lie about them and make a note. Another good statement : Look the last thing I ever want is for someone to confess to something they didnât , if your innocent then no matter how bad it looks you defend yourself to your dieing day, but if you did something wrong you need to do the right thing and make this come out as best you can.
She forced you hit her and drove you to it, but you realize that it was wrong and you are sorry, I know that but I got to here that from you. Anyone can understand that. Take away your addiction and youâre a great guy, all you need is some help, but you got to ask for it and it starts right here. Itâs not their fault, it the condition there in.
We are gonna give Roy the same opportunity we are giving you and I bet he see that the best thing for him to do is to tell the truth. Someone is gonna step up to the plate and get all the good consideration, if it were me Iâd make sure I was the one.
You gonna want him to face his mistakes and do the right thing. I know itâs gonna be tough when he finds out or you have to tell him about this, but it will be much better if you can explain it as a mistake and not look like a criminal You need to do what ever it takes to get this behind you and get back to your family as fast as you can. When the DA and the judge decide what to do you want them to be looking at the best possible person they can. Your mama didnât raise a liar and thief, she raised you to do the right thing, that doesnât mean your not gonna make mistakes. Not in a prison and people are more apt to help you with that if your honest, people canât stand to be lied to . Good trick: Cell phone, check the cell phone and go oh, just the kids. Do you have any kids (let you know if you can use that emotional theme). Do you live with your mom.
I use this one a lot. I gonna write a report on this thing or pc and itâs gonna read one of two things, I investigated this case and got all this evidence, I confronted Joe and he denied it. Or itâs gonna say I contacted Joe and he said that he had a bad drug problem, gambling problem or what ever, and he needed help and was willing to pay it back, go through treatment etc.
What if those fingerprints we got from the scene come back from the lab as yours. To late then youâll already be branded as a criminal and not someone who made a mistake. DNA- CSI- gives the impression that we can get evidence from anything. You present this as what if, so if they had on gloves, sure that no one saw them or they call you on it you have an out and donât loose credibility. Guilty: may repeat the question, You got my fingerprints. Well I was there last week. Officer: the lab will be able to tell us if they were fresh or not. Guilty may ask, if crime days old, How long to fingerprints last? If they didnât leave them who cares. You need to know your case before you use this or bluffing.
Different from baiting. You donât have and donât expect to have. Supreme court said that you can lie, but gave examples of shock: police pretended to be a clergy man or defense attorney. Test is : Is what Iâm about to say or do likely to make an innocent person confess. If the answer is no go ahead.
Move in close: I always got poked at for touching females. Be careful here, but I think it is very effective. Grab on the arms if standing or sitting. Touching on the knees. Alternative: Joe, just tell me what happened, youâll feel so much better, your either someone who has a bad drug problem or your thief who doesnât care. I think youâre a good guy with a bad addiction. Note: suspect may be head down while listening to your theme, keep going til he raises up and then ask is that what happen here? He may go back down, move in, donât just sit there.
Elements of the crime: the amount of money the took, where they hit their wife, where they took the property. This is not a 1.2,3,4 5 step approach, take as it comes, use as many themes as you need to, when subjects goes into feeling mode or closed to open, ask for it.
