The Interview

In the this week’s article called The Interview, by Douglas Starr explains about his experience at a basic Reid & Associates training course, in Boston. He went into great detail about his experience there. This training camp was to teach people how to properly interrogate someone. However, some of the points that this person made I felt went against what the book for the writing class was saying. For example the article explains that the key of the interview is to shut the client up and the book was explaining that the key is to get to the truth. How can one get to the truth if the client is supposed to be kept quiet? Even though this this was kind of confusing at times I still learned a few things. I learned that to get someone to confess often times you should downplay the offense. Even though the article went against some of the book’s teachings I still think there is much to be learned from The Interview.
