...caregivers who neglect them. The abuse has a profound effect on the child. With the special nature of these cases, forensic psychologists must use special techniques to take care of the child and case. Section 1: The Forensic Interview and Why it should be used The interview process consists of four steps. The first step is to establish a rapport with the victim through a few methods. Firstly, introduce yourself and provide some basic info about yourself as an icebreaker of sorts and get the victim more comfortable. After introductions, ask some info about the victim in simple terms that the victim can understand. The child is more than likely going to be nervous in an unknown environment talking to an unfamiliar person. The next method is to empathize with the victim. Not only will it make the child more comfortable, the child will open up and provide more information. The interview is more than likely going to be electronically recorded for protection of the victim. The third method is to not ask any coercive questions and ask open questions to expand conversation. (Cheung, 2003). The second step is to get the child’s official statement via open narrative. This is when the child should tell the interviewer what happened in his or her own words. Once this narrative is given, the third step immediately occurs. This step involves questioning the child. There are a variety of questions usually grouped via “Who,” “What,” “Where,” “When,” and “How.” The use of an anatomically detailed...

To the unenlightened reader, the novel appears historical in nature, but upon further exploration of the content, fictionalized elements are revealed. Its through elements of historical realism, like the fabrication of historical documents, an eyewitness account of the final Police-Kelly standoff in 1880, and the existence of a Melbourne Public Library that construct the validity of his story (Clancy 54). Kelly’s rationale for writing “is to obtain a voice, to gain the right to speak, and thus, to prevent the story of his life from being infested with and distorted by lies” (Gaile 38). Kelly’s desire for writing is justified and in Gailes’ article in Antipodes, he analyzes Carey’s...

...An Analysis of the Positive Remarks from Former Slave Interviews Introduction The institution of slavery in the United States created troubling consequences even in present day. Racism remains a pressing issue, and the media constantly reports of hate crimes and police brutality. As much as most people refuse to admit they are racist, it is been studied by psychologists that we all have implicit bias. The most blatant acts of discriminatory treatment towards black people was during the time of slavery. From the process of the slave trade and transporting them to work on the plantation in the New World, to decades after emancipation, it has become common knowledge that their lives were unimaginably rough and unfree. Some of these brutal acts...

...yet he was busted back to Captain in the end. What happened? The Enemy is Lee Child’s eighth novel in his Jack Reacher series, which features, unsurprisingly, Jack Reacher – a loner, once soldier, today’s vigilante hero. The first eight books track Reacher’s unsolicited career in crime-solving after he left the military, and this is the prequel which takes us back to when Reacher was gainfully employed by the United States Army as a military police in the elite 110th unit. For the first time readers are given insight to how Jack Reacher played with other people – people in his command chain, above, below and parallel – to take down miscreants. As usual, Child’s prose is crisp, enthralling and very sensory which gives readers a satisfying sense of vindication when Jack Reacher doles out his brand of justice. Lee Child delivers The Enemy in first person narrative, an excellent choice to bring readers deep into Reacher’s psyche. This is quite a deviation from Child’s preferred writing style, which he has confessed is the third person narrative. Lee Child was born in UK, educated at the independent secondary school, King Edward’s School, Birmingham, which R. Tolkien, author of Lord of the Ring, also attended. Lee Child then went on to study law at Sheffield University. However, he had no intention of practising law even as he studied it. He then took on various positions at...

...in the history of the medium as well as being internationally recognizable throughout his life. This paper delves into his earlier works, concentrating on his narrative elements such as the MacGuffin technique, the likeable antagonist, the innocent man or woman whom is falsely accused or misunderstood, and the act of balancing suspense and tragedy with humor and comedy. From a stylistic standpoint the paper conveys Hitchcock’s profound use of atmosphere and landscape, song as a suspense device, landscape of crowd caricatures, and point-of-view technique. Looking at The 39 Steps (1935), The Lady Vanishes (1938), Saboteur (1940), and Shadow of a Doubt (1943) we can see the styles and techniques these precursors pioneered and why they were implemented into Hitchcock’s greatest works in the coming decades. We take our first look at Hitchcock’s famed narrative technique, the MacGuffin. The MacGuffin was a plot device used by Hitchcock to hold the tension of the story without actually having any relevance to the plot itself. It was a gimmick that had the sole purpose of adding suspense to whatever situation the hero or heroine might have been in by motivating the characters to start the story. They do not know what it is but they will do anything to uncover its mystery, thus pushing the action and drama of the narrative forward. The initial use of this technique was in one of his earlier British films of the 1930’s, The 39 Steps. The character Mr. Memory had a set of secret...

...Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor, wrote a narrative called The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness. In this he writes about his experiences in concentration camps, as well as one, almost life changing question that was brought to him buy a Nazi soldier on his death bed. One day he was taken into a hospital room that occupied a wounded Nazi named Karl. Simon, worried and confused by the situation, remained silent as Karl proceeded to tell him about himself and a terrible crime that he had committed. He tells Simon about how one day he and his fellow comrades were out on the job and rounded up a large group of Jews and put them all in a house, where they were tightly packed together. The soldiers then threw in grenades that set the house on fire. Any Jew that tried to jump out of the house or to escape would be shot. After sharing the story with Simon, the soldier explained how guilty he felt and asked Simon for forgiveness. This was a question that Simon could not and did not know how to answer, so he walked out of the room. The question still harasses Simon, wondering what he should have done in that situation. In his narrative, he asked many different essayists for their thoughts, and with that he received many answers. Dith Pran, a witness and a survivor of the Cambodian killing fields, is one of many that wrote a response to Simon Wiesenthal. In his response, he says that the key to forgiveness is understanding. Pran believes that the soldiers...

...The documentary uses Baldwin’s prophetic voices as a tool of narration and places archival videos and soundbites of Baldwin into the backdrop of present-day Black Lives Matter rallies to highlight the continuity of Black protests. On the Dick Cavett Show (1968), James Baldwin stated that “the question [of the future of race-relations] is not what is going to happen to the Negro, but what is going to happen to this country and I must repeat that” (Peck1). The ideal of progress, touted by pundits and politicians alike in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, created an illusion of equality and racial reconciliation. In the televised interview, pundit Dick Cavett argued that “we have Black mayors, athletes,...

Stephen Porter* and Leanne ten Brinke University of British Columbia Okanagan, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada In this paper, we provide our view of the current understanding of high-stakes lies often occurring in forensic contexts. We underscore the importance of avoiding widespread pitfalls of deception detection and challenging prevailing assumptions concerning strategies for catching liars. The promise and limitations of each of non-verbal/body language, facial, verbal/linguistic, and physiological channels in detecting deception are discussed. In observing the absence of a single cue or behavioural channel that consistently reveals deception, a holistic approach with concurrent attention to multiple channels of a target’s behaviour (ideally videotaped for review) and changes from baseline behaviour is recommended whenever possible. Among the best-validated cues to be considered together include: illustrators, blink and pause rate, speech rate, vague descriptions, repeated details, contextual embedding, reproduction of conversations, and emotional ‘leakage’ in the face.

...an interview or interrogation depends on a number of personal characteristics and commitments of the investigator. Planning for and controlling the events surrounding both interviews and interrogations are important but are generally viewed as more critical to the success of an interrogation. The success of the interviewer or interrogator and of the interview or interrogation is often determined by the time and dedication committed to preparing for the conversation. The interviewer must become familiar with the facts of the case under investigation and with the victim. The interrogator must learn as much as possible about the offense, the victim(s) and the suspect through the process of collecting, assessing, and analyzing data and theorizing about the motivations and thought processes of the suspect. These are some reasons that planning for an interview or interrogation are important and in many ways similar. In planning for an interview or interrogation, one must determine what questions will be asked to ensure they are good questions that will lead the interviewer or interrogator to the conclusions they are trying to reach. There are some instances where only moderate planning or preparation is necessary for an interview while extensive planning and preparation is needed to conduct an interrogation. The most common type of interview is an on-the-scene interview where extensive planning is not always a possibility. An examples of this is on-the-scene interviews such...

...Imagine being confronted by the police about a crime that you heard about on the news recently. At first, the police are asking simple questions about where you were the day the crime took place, but the demeanour of the interview shifts and the police begin to accuse you of the crime. Many individuals have the misconception that one would never admit to a crime he or she did not commit, regardless of the circumstances. However, this misconception frequently turns out differently than one intends. It is an unfortunate yet all too real fact that people will falsely confess under various circumstances, and there are several factors that are likely to increase the risk of a false confession. One contributing factor to increased risk of a false...
