ABSTRACT

When questioning the perpetrator of physical or sexual assault, it is important to carefully observe their every movement and gesture. This can be a difficult task when the examiner or interviewer is focused on the task at hand (e.g., obtaining a confession or gathering information to make treatment recommendations). However, after you learn

what

to look for, and

how

to look for it, it does become habit. The more you pay attention to the physical cues, the more effective your interrogations and interviews become.
