Nonverbal behaviour and deception: cues: posture, eye contact, facial expression, word choices, accuracy rate: general interrogators not very skilled in seeing the dif b/w the 2, 57% good (55-57), college students can detect as well as police. Lies: higher pitched, longer pauses, more hand gestures. Information-gathering interrogations: instead of harsh being more positive & friendly & rapport more effective: use open-ended questions (open up & more detail) Rational offender thesis (only in some crimes) Popular culture: extremes, front stage / back stage. Front: safety & security, more police = safer streets (amount of police actually don"t effect crime: organizational implications: cater to public, want the m to have faith in the police. Institutional fix: as crime rate dropped reporting of crime increased by 700% Hypotheses: crime vary by patrol type, proactive less crime than reactive. Crime rates: independent of police patrol: time and space. Quality police encounter: police interact w public.
