Interrogation
(Redirected from Interrogated)
Interrogation is a process of questioning that is typically used by law enforcement agencies, military, and intelligence agencies with the goal of eliciting useful information. Interrogation may involve a diverse range of techniques, from developing a rapport with the subject, to torture.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The process of interrogation involves questioning individuals or groups to obtain information. This can be done in a formal or informal setting, and can involve a variety of techniques. The goal of interrogation is to obtain truthful, reliable information that can be used in a variety of contexts, such as criminal investigations, intelligence gathering, or military operations.
Techniques[edit | edit source]
There are many different techniques that can be used in an interrogation. These can range from simple questioning, to more complex psychological techniques. Some of the most common techniques include:
- Direct questioning: This is the most straightforward type of interrogation, where the interrogator asks direct questions to the subject.
- Indirect questioning: In this technique, the interrogator asks questions that are indirectly related to the information they are seeking.
- Confrontation: This technique involves confronting the subject with evidence or information that contradicts their statements.
- Deception: This technique involves the interrogator lying or misleading the subject in order to elicit information.
- Good cop/bad cop: This is a psychological tactic where one interrogator takes on a friendly, sympathetic role, while the other takes on a harsh, threatening role.
Ethical and Legal Considerations[edit | edit source]
Interrogation techniques can be controversial, particularly when they involve coercion, deception, or physical or psychological harm. Many countries have laws and regulations that govern the use of interrogation techniques, and there are international treaties that prohibit certain forms of interrogation, such as torture.
