John E. Reid

John E. Reid was a psychologist and law enforcement consultant known for developing the Reid Technique, a method used to interview and evaluate suspects. The technique emphasizes psychological strategies to build rapport, detect deceit, and encourage confessions during interrogations. While widely adopted, it has also faced criticism for potentially leading to false confessions. Reid’s work remains influential in criminal justice, shaping how investigators gather information, though its application and ethical considerations continue to be debated.
