Summary

Chapter 3 delves into commonly used police interrogation techniques in the United States, such as behavioral analysis approaches to interrogation (the Reid technique) and other rapport-based methods featured in the High Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG) Report (2016). This chapter focuses on some of the interrogation methods used by police, law enforcement agencies of the United States federal government (e.g., FBI, DEA), and the military to interrogate custodial suspects and evaluates how these methods fit with the Miranda rights and a suspect’s ability to invoke counsel in a custodial setting. How interrogators approach the Miranda rights stage of an interrogation across the book’s corpus, and potentially across interviewing styles, provides insights into the possible connection between the law and how interviewing styles are used and implemented in the United States. Chapter 3 also raises additional considerations when discussing any interrogation or interviewing style, in light of current United States law.
