Abstract

Obtaining accurate information from eyewitnesses is a crucial element in criminal investigations. Interview strategies such as the Cognitive Interview (CI) and the Self-Administered Interview (SAI) have been developed and implemented to minimise inaccuracies and enhance the recall and reliability of eyewitness evidence. The SAI is a recent development within forensic psychology. However, a question remains as to the effectiveness of the SAI as an investigative interview tool. A systematic review of published studies employing the SAI was conducted (n = 22), and all were considered in relation to three variables (estimator, system and methodological). As the number of studies within the evidence base was relatively small, we could not ascertain whether the SAI is an effective investigative interviewing tool. However, the results demonstrate a number of positive benefits of the SAI. We discuss the implications of these findings for policy and directions for future research.

自控访谈的功效：系统回顾

从目击证人那里获得准确信息是刑事调查中的一个关键因素。为了最大限度地减少不准确性，提高目击证人证据的回忆能力和可靠性，人们开发并实施了认知访谈（CI）和自控访谈（SAI）等访谈策略。SAI 是法证心理学的最新发展。然而，SAI 作为一种调查访谈工具是否有效仍是一个问题。我们对已发表的采用 SAI 的研究进行了系统性回顾（n = 22），并根据三个变量（估计器、系统和方法）对所有研究进行了审议。由于证据库中的研究数量相对较少，我们无法确定 SAI 是否是一种有效的调查访谈工具。不过，研究结果表明了 SAI 的一些积极益处。我们将讨论这些研究结果对政策的影响以及未来研究的方向。
