In this article, the shared and non-shared aspects of military- and police-based interrogations are described. Current events, such as the war in Iraq and the increasing number of identified false confessions, warrant the empirical comparison of these two interrogation forms. In regard to shared characteristics, both military and police interrogations utilize psychologically oriented techniques. In regard to non-shared characteristics, the types of interrogation diverge in their main purpose (intelligence gathering vs. confession/self-incrimination), the people they question, the degree of training interrogators receive, the use of direct questions, and the permissible use of torture. Implications for innocents in military and police interrogation settings are addressed.read more

TL;DR: In this article, Van Meter suggested that individual prejudices should be left outside of the interrogation room, as a good interrogator must be impartial, and he further elaborated: "I have seen interrogators personally involved with a suspect, and they usually become very sensitive to the suspect and all that he says. This personal sensitivity often leads to harsh words and useless conversations with the suspect."
