Class Interview Reflection



The definition of interview according to our textbook, is to "find the truth in the form of information received in a legal and professional manner. " While watching the two groups interview, I only saw one interview and one interrogation. An interrogation is "more focused then an interview and has a heightened sense of anxiety and tension."

My observations of the first interview include:
     #1
         The interviewers became really aggressive early on in the interview
         The interviews did not establish a rapport with the subject before asking the hard questions
         The interviewers seemed biased from the beginning and instead of getting information from the subject, they seemed to be    
           fishing for a confession. 
         The interviewers reacted to the answers the subject gave. 
         The interviews asked a lot of yes/no questions 

My observations of the second interview include:
     #2
        The interviewer asked basic questions first
        The interviewer asked questions that were answerable in short answers
        The interviewer built a rapport at the beginning of the questioning 

        The interviewer did a nice job restating the subject's answers
