N2 - Law enforcement interviews are conducted for multiple purposes, but little research exists on their perceived effectiveness. An online survey examined 73 interviewing practices of 324 intelligence and criminal investigators. Participants reported more commonalities than differences; all preferred a cooperative, information-gathering approach and rated rapport-building as highly effective in securing true and accurate information, although HUMINT practitioners gave more emphasis to the latter. Both groups of practitioners relied on procedural justice approaches of kindness, respect, genuine concern, and addressed basic needs of interviewees to build rapport. They favoured noncoercive techniques to point out testimonial inconsistencies and present evidence to interviewees. HUMINT interviewers were more likely than criminal investigators to conduct interviews in informal, comfortable settings, to establish identities in common with and to become a lifeline to their sources, and to offer them tangible and intangible rewards for cooperation.
