tion. We must be very care- ful not to promise that

there will be no prosecution. we must simply state that if we can go back to the victim with some of his money, some‘ of his merchandise, he in fact may change his mind a- bout the whole matter.".

Iiot Confession ' Technique

"In a housebreaking or shopbreaking.whereby we sud- denly Come accross the ac— cused in the commission of his crime, police officer may draw his pistol or re— volver not knowing what he may expect in the way of re— taliation by the accused. Af- ter placing the accused un- der arrest, and while still in the possesion of your re- volver, you inform the ac- cused that he is no doubt the party that is respons— ible for over fifty house- breakings or fifty shopbreak- ings or a great number of armed robberies in that par— ticular district. While the suspect is still in the ’ throes of emotion‘from his present predicament he is most liable to answer that he has only committed ten shopbreakings or maybe just four or five\armed robberies. At the jtime.of his arrest he is actually in a state of imbalance and by the pre- ssure exerted by the intere rogator the form of an ac— cusation that he has been resé ponsible for this great num- ber of crimes he will cer— tainly seek the lesser of. the two evils and confess’to, the actual number that he’ did do."

Conspiracy Technique

"In this technique, the interrogator drops his voice Very low and his lines may go something like this.

"Come on over here Char- lie. I don't know whether this place is bugged or not but come over here while I talk to you. Some of these guy's snoop at the doorway and try to_hear what is go- ing on. For Christ's sake, if you did it you did it and that's all there is to it. If it was an accident for Christ's sake say so.

‘Maybe we can dress it up a

little. Maybe we get you a 'little less time, maybe we Ican deal. But for Christ's ‘sake don't ever say I Said this to you because if you do I'll say you are a_liar and never said anything./ Use your head Charlie, you can get yourself off the

just keep yOur voice down to V"

’ I Of Lies Technique-

‘"In this technique we catch the suspect in his . first lie and then purpose-

~.;

1y foster more lies. When a suspect tells one lie he must continue to tell more lies to support his first die. We purposely feed him material so that he will ‘lie and finally when we have a pyramid that has been built up we take away his first lie and naturally the pyramid all falls down."

interrogation 0i Females

H_"Care must be taken when ffitfiirogating females. If at all possible have a police- -woman right outside the door Who may listen to the actual conversation. The policewo— man is placed there for the ‘protection of the interrog— ator so at no time can the female\subject say she was ‘taken advantage of by the ‘interrogator.

"The interrogator first ‘attempt to find out whether ,or not the female he is in- ,terrogating has any children. If she has a child then we would talk about her child. Ask the age, ask the sex, ask what school it goes to, if she has any pictures. Tell

'rher’it looks like her. Speak

of her love for the child. Reiterate that her prime function in life is to re- produce. That is what god placed her no earth for. It nukes no difference whether the women we are speaking to Iis a prostitute or an ordin—

ary bank clerk. Women are emotional and an emotional approach is the best to use on women. We use the emoti— on of love, jealousy, and

_ fear. Love for her parents,

love for her children. Jeal— ousy of the husband or boy— friend. How he will be en- joying himself if she goes

to jail. Fear of jail. The cotton dressses that they wear in jail made out of jute cloth. The floppy shoes.

.She is no longer an individ—

Lual but is classed as a unit. We then slip into the "Hea— ven and Hell" technique."
