Reid's Inquiry

Reid’s Inquiry is a questioning method used by investigators to gather reliable information without leading or influencing the interviewee. It emphasizes establishing rapport, asking open-ended questions, and allowing the person to tell their story in their own words. The goal is to detect truth while minimizing errors like false confessions or misunderstandings. Reid’s method also involves detecting signs of deception through behavioral cues, helping investigators assess whether the interviewee is being truthful. Overall, it aims to conduct fair, effective interviews that uncover the facts accurately.
