“…The remaining ten studies were ineligible because they did not contrast interviewing/interrogation approaches, but rather examined the influence of only one type (most often, this was accusatorial methods on false confessions), failed to include an appropriate control condition, or examined other factors that might influence true or false confession rates (such as anxiety, suggestibility, etc.). The nine excluded studies were: 1) Abboud, Wadkins, Forrest, Lanfe, and Alavi, 2002 (unpublished presentation); 2) Beune, Giebels, & Sanders, 2009 (peer‐reviewed journal, see also Beune, 2009); 3) Forrest, Wadkins, and Larson, 2006 (peer‐reviewed journal); 4) Horgan, Russano, Meissner, and Evans, in press (peer‐reviewed journal); 5) Horselenberg, Merckelbach, and Josephs, 2003 (peer‐reviewed journal); 6) Kebbel and Daniels, 2006 (peer‐reviewed journal); 7) Kebbel, Hurren, and Roberts, 2006 (peer‐reviewed journal); 8) Klaver, Lee, and Rose, 2008 (peer‐reviewed journal); 9) Nash and Wade, 2009 (peer‐reviewed journal); and 10) van Bergen, Jelicic, and Merckelbach, 2008 (peer‐reviewed journal). Three of these studies were conducted in the United States, two in Australia, three in the Netherlands, and one each in the United Kingdom and Canada.…”

The Campbell Collaboration (C2) was founded on the principle that systematic reviews on the effects of interventions will inform and help improve policy and services. C2 offers editorial and methodological support to review authors throughout the process of producing a systematic review. A number of C2's editors, librarians, methodologists and external peerreviewers contribute.The Campbell Collaboration ABSTRACT 6

“…Indeed, there is growing evidence to suggest that the order in which behaviors occur -the interrelationships among behaviors-has a significant impact on their meaning and effects (Adair, 2003;Adair & Brett, 2005;Beune, 2009;Giebels & Noelanders, 2004;Taylor, 2002;Taylor & Donald, 2003, 2004Vrij et al, 2008).…”

Based on 27 authentic, videotaped police interviews, we examine how use of different influencing behaviors by police officers impacts on suspects' information provision. Our analysis focuses on variations in cue-response patterns across suspects from cultures that tend to utilize more direct and content-oriented communication (i.e., low-context cultures) and cultures whose communication is typically more indirect and context orientated (i.e., high-context cultures). As expected, rational arguments were more effective in eliciting case-related personal information from low-context suspects compared to high-context suspects. Contrary to our expectations, high-context rather than low-context suspects seemed to respond negatively in terms of explicitly refusing to give information to being kind. Additional analysis considered the effects of two types of intimidating behavior (intimidating the individual versus the context) across the low-/ high-context suspects. Results showed that intimidating the individual was more effective at eliciting case-related personal information from low-context suspects, while intimidating the context appeared to be more effective in eliciting case-related contextual information for high-context suspects.

“…Dixon, ; Hartwig, Granhag, & Vrij, ). Although we do not have much empirical information on Dutch questioning practice (Beune, ; Vrij, ), we do know that what Dutch police are taught resembles to a large extent the ethical interviewing technique as proposed by Williamson (, 1994). The standard technique, the ‘Standaard Verhoorstrategie (SVS)’ or ‘Standard Questioning Strategy’ (described in the ‘Questioning Manual’ by van Amelsvoort, Rispens, & Grolman, ), uses available information to encircle the suspect with tactical evidence.…”

The Lawyer in the Dutch Interrogation Room: Influence on Police and Suspect

In many European countries, providing a suspect in custody with legal aid before the first police interrogation is a heavily debated issue. In this paper, we report on an exploratory study on the use of coercion by the police and the use of the right to silence by suspects in 70 Dutch homicide cases and their relation to prior consultation and presence of a lawyer. Analysis of the data indicates that there is a relation between the presence of a lawyer in the interrogation room and the way in which police interrogators use coercion. To gain insight into whether the police use coercion and how this is achieved, we looked at the extent to which the interrogators make use of certain interrogation techniques and how the interrogation techniques are used to exert coercion. We found that legal advice from a lawyer before and during the interrogation corresponds with suspects more often using their right to silence. It also appears that the police are inclined to use 'hard coercion' when confronted with a silent suspect. The research thus raises the question as to whether the presence of a lawyer is an adequate way to prevent false confessions.
