Charles, a fraud examiner, accuses George of fraud during an admission-seeking interview. George immediately denies the charge How should Charles respond to George's denial?
A.
Counter the denial by arguing with George until further denials are futile
B.
Use a delaying tactic to interrupt the denial
C.
Remind George he has to tell the truth or face perjury.
“Once a denial is uttered, it becomes extremely difficult for the accused to change his response, because doing so would be an admission that he lied. Therefore, the interviewer must prevent an outright denial, thereby making it easier for the subject to confess”.
“One of the most effective techniques to stop or interrupt a denial is through a delaying tactic… the interviewer should attempt to delay the outright denial; he should not argue with the accused”.
Thus, Charles should interrupt with a delaying tactic.
