Suspect Interviews and Confessions in Sex Crime Cases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Criminal Investigations of Sexual Offenses

Abstract

Establishing if a crime occurred and, ultimately, proving guilt can be accomplished in one of three ways: by witness/victim statements, by physical evidence, or by confession (Rossmo, 2009). The successful interviewing of suspects, victims, and witnesses is therefore of great importance. Until recently, no scientific knowledge was available to provide guidance for those responsible for conducting police interviews. This is particularly striking when it comes to sex offense perpetrators who are considered less likely to cooperate and confess during police interrogation. However, in the past two decades or so, some pioneering researchers started to empirically study this crucial topic in real world settings, in order to provide police interviewers with evidence-based advice and knowledge about victim, witness, and suspect interviewing in sex offense cases. This chapter reviews current empirical efforts in the field of investigative interviewing with suspects generally, and then focuses specifically on investigative interviewing with sex offense perpetrators.
