The document outlines a presentation requirement that consists of two parts: comparing two interviewing methodologies using scholarly sources and exploring the components of statement analysis to determine deception in statements. It emphasizes the need to define each methodology and examine appropriate contexts for their use, along with analyzing specific witness statements for deception indicators. Practical examples of statements are provided to facilitate an analysis of components related to potential dishonesty.

1. prepare a 4- to 5-slide, APA-formatted Microsoft PowerPoint
presentation that includes responses to Part 1 and Part 2.
Part 1
Use scholarly sources to compare any two of the following
interviewing methodologies:
Structural interviews
Inferential interviews
Behavioral interviews
Cognitive interviews
Clearly define each methodology chosen and examine in what
situations it may be appropriate.
Part 2
Explore the components of statement analysis—a complex skill
that can help you determine the level of deception in a witness's
or a suspect's statement. Identifying deception leads one to dig
deeper, investigate further, and ask more, often difficult, direct
questions.
Instructions
Consider the following example of a statement and its
component:
Statement
Statement Component
"Decided to go for a walk. Got out there. Umm . . . stood for a
few moments and received a page from home. Something was
going on at home. Let's go back and make a phone call and see
what's going on.
Parts of speech, specifically missing pronouns
Analyze the following statements and identify as many
applicable components of statement analysis as you can
attribute to the deception:
"Got approached by a gentleman asking for money. When I
addressed him, I was struck in the rear and knocked to the
ground. Struggled with him. There was a shot that went off.
Struggled with him, and there was another shot that went off.
That was the shot that hit me."

2. "On July 4, 2011, at about 4:00 p.m., came home from work and
took a shower. Was getting ready to head out to some friends'
barbeque and party. My friends Jerry and Paul were having
some people over for the Fourth of July. Sat down for a few
minutes to watch television and relax. Had two beers until about
5:30 p.m.
"Put my feet up on the table when the doorbell rang. It was an
ex-girlfriend, Sally. She sat down with me for a few minutes.
They wanted to tell me about their new boyfriend. I wasn't so
happy about it; I didn't really want to break up with her. I
watched the race and argued some, and she left, at six or so.
"At about 7:00 p.m. drove to my friends' place. They live in the
country and it took me an hour to get there, arrived at eight or
so. When we got to the party, there were about ten or twelve
people there; they were pretty wasted already, and they were
drinking most of the day. Sat down outside and had a few shots
and several beers. It was hot, so I went inside, and I watched
television to cool off. Drank about two more beers and talked
with two girls that were friends of Jerry; they were friends of
my ex-girlfriend as well. They stated that my ex had found
another boyfriend and they were already talking marriage and
children. I watched the car race for a while, by myself, and then
went back outside to play horseshoes. I played a few games and
had an argument with one of the other guys, and they wanted to
fight, so went inside to cool down again.
"At about ten or eleven, one of the people at the party came to
me to tell me that my ex, Sally, had been found outside her
house, hurt and barely alive. She was taken to the hospital.
"I watched the end of the race, close to midnight, had a few
more beers and left. Went directly home."
