Key Elements of Deception Being able to identify deception is a very important trait to have when conducting an interview or interrogation. Deception is to ensnare or to give false claim to something. For an interviewer this is a key element to have so that one can find the truth to what happened when and where the crime took place. So when conducting an interview or interrogation the interviewer must watch for key signs and specific elements to detect deceit by the interviewee. When approaching an interview or interrogation, methods and steps must be followed in order to detect deceit. A promising new approach to interviewing is called inferential interviewing.

A statement should make simple since and should be easy to follow along with what happened. Also, the statement cannot violate the rules of nature or contradict itself. This step is an inspection for dishonesty includes a statement as an entire. So does what an interviewee says make since and sound complete? The conversation should definitely have a flow to it and an ease about getting the information needed. The next step to the method of inferential interview is the response length of someone’s speech. Deception is highly motivated when paired with short response time. Also, speech errors and slow rate of speech is related to deception in a person. Behaviors such as these are also known as verbal leakage (Gosselin, 2007). Verbal leakage happens unconsciously and it is an indicator of deceit in an interview. Follow up questions can easily stumble up a liar and can lead to confusion. A skilled interviewer with the ability to detect deceit by this particular method would definitely be …show more content…
According to a study performed by the CIA out of 50 missions conducted 17 far out succeeded their objectives when deception was used. Also, out of 50 battles fought without the advantage of initial surprise or deception, 30 ended in defeat for the initiators, and only one substantially exceeded the attacking commander 's expectations. The average mean casualty ratio in favor of the attacking force was 1-to-15 when deception was achieved, but only 1-to-1.7 without deception. How, then, to achieve the desired deception? The classic security precautions? Dr. Whaley finds that in 61 battles which achieved strategic deception, this could be attributed to passive security measures by the attacking force in only four instances. Of 54 cases of tactical deception, seven at most could be attributed to effective security (Deception, 1996). Deception, however, was either the main cause or a significant factor in 82% of all cases of strategic deception, and 57% of the tactical deception. "The greater the effort put into the deception plan," Dr. Whaley notes, "the greater the degree of surprise
