Prosecutors failed to effectively administer key interview instructions, build rapport, or rely on open-ended narrative producing prompts during this early stage of que...

— The theme is the influence of the spin structure on the Dirac spectrum of a spin manifold. We survey examples and results related to this question. Résumé (Dépendance du spectre de l’opérateur de Dirac par rapport à la structure spinorielle) Sur une variété spinorielle, nous étudions la dépendance du spectre de l’opérateur de Dirac par rapport à la structure spinorielle. Nous donnons ensuite ...

Purpose Rapport-building has beneficial effects in investigative and security contexts. However, there remains limited understanding of the extent agreement between different parties their judgments rapport. Methods We observed 133 mock suspect interviews, subsequently surveyed lead interviewer secondary (trainees undertaking an undergraduate Policing programme), ‘suspect’ (an actor), expert ob...
