| Dealing With Interrogation - Good Cop & Bad Cop
October 6, 2009 at 8:42 am
|
| | Any fan of police dramas has seen it dozens of times: a suspect, sitting at a table in a concrete room, is confronted by two cops. These two cops often alternate, each playing either good cop or bad cop. Good cop tries to project empathy, saying things like "if you just cooperate with us..." and trying to seem supportive and understanding. Bad cop, in contrast, acts aggressive and makes accusations and sometimes derogatory comments. This tactic, even though it has been made famous by TV and movies, is still designed as a psychological ploy. For example, sometimes good cop will defend you against bad cop's assertions. Being interrogated is intimidating enough, but by appearing to defend you, good cop is trying to make you identify with him so you will open up and yield information. Remember: they're both police officers and quite possibly friends. | | |
