Investigative Discourse Analysis
The systematic analysis of written discourse (statements, transcripts, letters, etc.) can indicate the truthfulness of the individual, as well as identify the critical areas of the case that require further inquiry or investigation. Often, written discourse relevant to an investigation is only seen as a piece of paper to be filed. It is thought to be only useful at face value - as a record, sworn statement, or archive. In Investigative Discourse Analysis the investigator learns how these files can be put to work as investigative decision-making tools and indicators of deception that can serve to carry the investigation to conclusion.
Within the program, all concepts presented will allow for the participants to "do" in order to enhance the learning experience. Actual statements, transcripts, and letters will be utilized, analyzed, and expanded. The hands-on method is designed to address each succeeding objective before continuing to the next.
The course involves the presentation and application of information related to the analysis process of statements, transcripts, or other textual documentation related to an investigation. Exercises involving actual criminal case statements are utilized for analysis by the participant to relate theory to application and to facilitate the learning process.
Upon completion of the course, the participant will be able to:
-Obtain an exact word-for-word statement from a subject of suitable
length to perform analysis
-Perform an analysis of a previously obtained statement, transcript, or
other form of discourse and establish the elements necessary
for amplifying the content of the discourse
-Apply the appropriate questioning procedures necessary to have the
subject expand upon items and areas identified by the analysis
of the discourse.
