Investigative Interviewing - The Strategic Use of Evidence (SUE) Technique
Darryl Wegner, Managing Director – PKF O’Connor Davies
This course will provide a brief overview of the Strategic Use of Evidence (SUE) technique which is an investigative interviewing method developed from scientific research with the goal of improving the detection of deception and eliciting truthful accounts. The SUE technique provides a framework and strategy for the introduction of evidence during an investigative interview. This technique is based on the premise that truth-tellers and liars behave differently when confronted with evidence, allowing forensic investigators to better identify inconsistencies and potentially uncover deception.
