How to move from confession based interrogation to investigative interviewing is the theme of the course. Interrogations are commonly known as guilt confirming and confession oriented. Investigative interviewing and the K.R.E.A.T.I.V model on the other hand, is developed to stimulate open-mindedness, secure evidence, and operationalise the presumption of innocence.
First joint training in Vietnam
The course is organised by the Ministry of Public Security and the People’s Police Academy in cooperation with the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights and the Norwegian Police Academy. It is the first time the training is conducted jointly with experts from the Peoples Police Academy, Vietnam.
Is an Investigative Interviewing methodology developed by Ivar Fahsing, Asbjørn Rachlew and colleagues to prevent torture and false confession.
