    Behind the Badge: The Art and Psychology of Police Interrogation


    A police interrogation is a formal questioning of a suspect by law enforcement to obtain evidence that could lead to a prosecution. Interrogations can occur in many settings, including police stations or on the street, and can take place during an arrest, criminal investigation, or after a suspect is in custody.





    Police interrogations are often accusatorial and manipulative, and can include:











    • Confronting the suspect with accusations of guilt
    • Minimizing the severity of the crime
    Providing moral justification for the suspect's actions

    Using the Reid technique, which involves methods to detect signs of deception in body language

    Threatening consequences

    Promising leniency in return for a confession

    Denying the suspect their rights


    The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects individuals from self-incrimination and guarantees the right to remain silent. Before questioning, the suspect must be warned of their rights, including:






    The right to remain silent
    The right to have an attorney present, either retained or appointed
    The fact that any statement they make may be used as evidence against them


    However, the Supreme Court has stated that police interrogations are "inherently coercive". Despite this, confessions are often trusted and offered as conclusive evidence of guilt, even when made by innocent suspects.

    True crime is a genre that explores real-life crimes, often focusing on high-profile cases, unsolved mysteries, or the psychology of criminals and victims. It includes detailed accounts of events, investigations, trials, and their aftermath, providing insights into the human behaviors and societal issues surrounding crime.

    True crime content can take many forms, including books, documentaries, podcasts, TV shows, and films. Popular topics include murder cases, serial killers, organized crime, fraud, and corruption. The genre appeals to people who are fascinated by human psychology, justice, and the complexities of criminal behavior.

    A true crime podcast is an audio series that explores real-life crimes, often detailing the events surrounding a case, the investigation process, the legal proceedings, and the stories of those involved. These podcasts often mix storytelling, analysis, and interviews to give listeners an immersive look into the world of crime and justice.True crime podcasts cover a wide range of topics, including:
    • Murder and Serial Killers: Deep dives into notorious cases or unsolved mysteries.
    • White-Collar Crimes: Fraud, scams, and corporate corruption.
    • Cold Cases: Crimes that remain unsolved, often sparking new interest or investigation.
    • Wrongful Convictions: Stories of justice gone wrong, including false confessions or systemic flaws.
    • Criminal Psychology: The motivations, behaviors, and backgrounds of criminals.
    They range from serious, investigative journalism to more casual storytelling with humor or commentary. Some popular examples include Serial, My Favorite Murder, Criminal, and Sword and Scale.

  • FULL Police Interrogation of Former Police Chief For Murder

    FULL Police Interrogation of Former Police Chief For Murder
    Jan 10 2025
    FULL Police Interrogation of Former Police Chief For Murder

    On October 2017, Hardin, then 50 years old, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, admitting that he had killed James Appleton. Appleton pulled into a parking lot on Gann Ridge Road in Gateway, Arkansas on February 23, 2017, to talk with his coworker and brother-in-law on his cell phone. A passerby saw the pickup and a blue Chevrolet Malibu parked behind it.

    The driver of the Malibu waved him around, the passerby told police, and when he was a few hundred yards away, he heard a bang and saw the Malibu speed toward him, before turning onto the dirt road where Hardin lived. With his family. And his blue Malibu. His wife Linda thought he had been outside spreading grass seed, but the passerby knew Hardin all his life. He was sure it was him.

    Hardin was sentenced to 30 years in prison and was required to provide a DNA sample to the state. It was a match. Hardin had never even been a suspect, but on February 7, 2019 Hardin pleaded guilty to two counts of rape, finally closing the 1997 case. Hardin received 25 years on each of the two counts, which are running concurrently with his murder sentence. All in all, Hardin will serve at least 21 years of the 30-year murder sentence, and then another 14, before he is first eligible for parole at age 84.

    Hardin had worked for four police agencies. He was fired from one, allowed to resign from one rather than be fired and resigned from two, always claiming his separation was on higher ground. For example, he claimed to have left Fayetteville Police Department because other officers were stealing and his work environment became intolerably hostile after he reported their theft. He resigned after seven months from Huntsville, stating that he refused to treat people unfairly, as was expected of him. A couple of departments later, and he found himself filing for unemployment. And being denied.

    Hardin returned to the private sector, but kept his toe in law enforcement, serving two one-year terms as volunteer constable in Benton County. In 2016 Hardin became chief of police in Gateway, resigning after four months to earn an associate's degree in criminal justice at Northwest Arkansas Community College.

    Hardin was working in corrections when he was arrested for Appleton's murder.

    Hardin is now #168541 at Arkansas DOC's North Central Unit, where — apart from the whole murder and rape thing — he has no major disciplinary violations, has completed an anger management course, and in October 2017 was determined to be minimum risk classification.

    To this day no one knows why he killed Appleton.

    Tinder Date Gone Wrong POLICE AUDIO

    On August 13, 2021, Deline was coming off of a 26 hour shift at Memorial Medical Center. Or was it a 25 hour shift? Maybe 24 hours?

    It would ultimately emerge that Deline was actually coming off of a trip to El Paso, where she had been bar hopping. (But she does work a lot.)

    After bar hopping in El Paso, Deline followed her GPS to her Tinder boyfriend's place... and ended up driving through multiple backyards before getting her car stuck between two houses.

    Jake Evans 911 Call (FULL) Teen charged with murdering mother and sister
    Jan 9 2025
    Jake Evans 911 Call (FULL) Teen charged with murdering mother and sisterTexas Teen Tells 911 It Was 'Weird' to Kill His Mother and SisterJake Evans is accused of capital murder for shooting and killing his family.Oct. 6, 2012 — -- In a chilling 911 call, Texas teen Jake Evans spent 20 minutes calmly recounting how he shot and killed his mother and sister, calling himself "evil.""It's weird," an even-voiced Evans told the 911 dispatcher. "I wasn't even really angry with them. It just kind of happened. I've been kind of planning on killing for a while now."Evans, 17, of Parker County, Texas, was arrested after he called police early Thursday morning to report he had killed his mother Jami Evans, 48, and his 15-year-old sister Mallory Evans."I just thought it would be quick, you know? I didn't want them to feel any pain," he said. "That's why I used a gun, but it was like everything went wrong."He has been charged with capital murder, according to court documents, and is being held without bond.Evans did not give a specific reason for the killings, but said that he didn't "really like people's attitudes" and said people were "verbally rude to each other.""I guess this is really selfish to say, but to me, I felt like they were just suffocating me in a way," he said calmly. "I don't know.Obviously, you know, I'm pretty, I guess, evil."He told the operator that he told his sister that his mother needed to see her. When his sister came out of her room, Evan said he shot her. She rolled down the stairs and he shot her again, he said."I'll never forget this. My sister, she came down the stairs and she was screaming and I was telling her that I'm sorry but to just hold still--that, you know, I was just going to make it go away," he said. "But she just kept on freaking out, but finaly she she fell down, and I got her in the head about, probably, three times."He said he then shot his mom three or four times with a .22 revolver. The gun belonged to a family member, according to ABC News' Dallas-Forth Worth affilate WFAA."Just to let you know, I hate the feeling of killing someone. I'm going to be messed up," he told the operator. "I'm really worried about nightmares and stuff like that. Are there any type of medications for that and stuff?""I don't mean to sound like a wimp or anything, but this is, wow, I've never, like, done anything violent in my whole life," he added.When police arrived at the home, Evans was standing outside with his hands in the air and was arrested without incident, according to police. Authorities believe Evans' father was out of town on a business trip when the shootings occurred.Jami Evans was a teacher and an assistant principal at schools in the Aledo Independent School District from 1989 to 2004."Aledo ISD is deeply saddened to learn of the death of a former employee and a former student," the school district said in a statement. "Her dedication to her students and her love of learning was an inspiration to all who knew her.""We also mourn the death of Mallory Evans, a former elementary and intermediate school student," the statement said. "She was a sweet child that will be missed by her friends and school family."Friends were shocked to hear about what Jake Evans had done. They described him as a nice and shy student who was an avid golfer. He played golf for Aledo High School where he was a student until he and his sister withdrew in January to be home schooled."I just want people to know this action is not how we all know him," Cole Wooten, who said he had been in school with Evans since kindergarten, told WFAA."I really liked him," classmate Clint McClellen said. "Nicest kid. Quiet, shy, kept to himself, but I liked that about him."Dr. Laurence Steinberg, an expert in psychological development during adolescence, said that it is common for others to say that there did not seem to be anything wrong with a young perpetrator. He said signs of trouble often surface in the days following an event, as an investigation unfolds."It's extremely unlikely that a perfectly normal 17-year-old kid would take out a shotgun and kill members of his family," Steinberg told ABCNews.com."There's a little bit in what he said that sounds a little psycho-pathological in a sense that he does not seem to have the emotional response to what he did," he said. "Being callous and unemotional is a classic sign of a psychopath, so maybe he has some tendencies in that direction."But Steinberg cautioned that sometimes it can be difficult to differentiate between shock and someone who is just unemotional.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/full-police-interrogations-true-crime-podcast-2025--6463449/support.
