Background information can help you understand the motivation for a person to commit a crime. It can also help explain why a particular person was victimized. As you can imagine, the backgrounds of the victims and the suspects are often connected in some way. You often see this on the crime shows you watch. This background information will be used in the confrontation part of the interrogation as you work to eventually obtain a confession. For example, “Today, Shirley reported that she was in her living room in God’s Country, NY yesterday morning at about 10AM with her dog. Shirley went into the back of the house to do laundry and left her Yorkshire terrier in the kitchen/living room. Shirley did not lock the door from the kitchen to the porch. When she returned to the living room, there were wet footprints on the kitchen floor and the dog was gone. The dog is one year old and valued at approximately $1000. When questioned by police as to who might have taken her dog, Shirley stated that she got along with all of her neighbors and she couldn’t imagine anyone doing this.” A background investigation on Shirley indicated that she had a seasonal neighbor, Renee, who was not an animal lover and had acted in an aggressive manner when Shirley walked the dog past Renee’s house. A second interview of Shirley resulted in her saying that she felt uncomfortable “pointing the finger at one of her neighbors” but she did disclose several occasions when Renee had acted hostile re: the dog.” You have now developed a good lead as to who may have done this. Background information on your suspect Renee includes the following: Renee was bitten as a child by the neighbor’s Pekingese dog and she has hated small dogs since that dog attack. On the day that the Yorkie went missing (today), a 2017 Subaru Outback matching the description of Renee’s had been seen parked in the roadway by her cottage. Footprints in the fresh snow by where the car was parked and heading towards the cottage were photographed and plaster casts were made. The prints are similar to those made by an Ugg boot, woman’s size 7. Similar prints were also seen in the fresh snow outside the kitchen door of Shirley’s residence. You telephonically contact Renee and ask her to meet you at the station to discuss a problem with her seasonal residence. When she arrives at the station, she is wearing Uggs and they appear to be around a woman’s size seven. Lock her in to what she has done in the past 24 hours (including that she was alone at her seasonal residence). Lock her in to who has driven her vehicle in the past 24 hours. (You want her to say that she was only person to drive her vehicle and she was the only person at her cottage.) Ask her about her family and pets. Does she own any pets? See if she mentions a dog. If not, ask her why she doesn’t own a dog.” Okay, you can see the type of narrative that I want re: the crime in this discussion board. But wait, there’s more! Incorporate a discussion of step 1 of the “confrontation part” of the interrogation and Confession Mountain/the Slippery Slope of Denial into your discussion board. How does background information help you on Confession Mountain? BE SPECIFIC! By Friday at 11:55PM, Submit a well-worded discussion board that includes the following: A discussion of reducing resistance and Confession Mountain as it relates to the Slippery Slope of Denial An example of a fictional narrative that shows how background information re: the victimization can be used to point you in the right direction re: the suspect in your case. An example of a fictional narrative that shows how background information can be used on your suspect in an interrogation to obtain a confession. How would the background information help you with your suspect on the Slippery Slope of Denial? Do not use actual cases that are familiar to you. I want you to use your imagination. Your discussion board will be at least 450 words in length. It is due by Friday, March 26 at 11:55PM. . If you consult ANY outside reference AND use that information in your DB, you MUST post at least one in-text citation for the source and the reference for the source in APA 7th Edition format.
