Mapping details to elicit information and cues to deceit: the effects of map richness
ABSTRACT Background: Investigators often use maps in forensic interviews to verify a route that was taken by a suspect to obtain additional information, and to assess credibility. Method: We examined the effects of the level of map richness on the elicitation of information and cues to deceit. A total of 112 participants completed a mock secret mission and were asked to tell the truth (to a friendly agent) or to lie (to a hostile agent) about it in an interview. In phase 1 of the interview, all participants provided a verbal free recall of the mission. In phase 2, half of the participants were given a detailed map that included all street names and landmarks of the city where they completed the mission (zoomed in to 80%), and the other half were given a less detailed map that included the names of only major streets and landmarks (zoomed in to 60%). All participants were asked to verbally describe the mission and the route taken while sketching on the map. Results: Compared to lie tellers, truth tellers provided more location, action, temporal, and object details and complications in phase 1, and new person, location, action, and object details and complications in phase 2. Map richness did not have an effect on the amount of information elicited and had an equal effect on truth tellers and lie tellers. Conclusions: This initial experiment in this research area suggests that investigators do not have to worry about the exact level of map detailedness when introducing maps in interviews.

Scientific Interrogation: The Strategic Use of Evidence (SUE) Technique
The Strategic Use of Evidence (SUE) technique represents a method of scientific interrogation** that entails the strategic management of case information and evidence. The technique offers guidance to interrogators on the utilization of available information, encompassing pre-interrogation planning, the formulation of strategic questions based on the evidence and the strategic disclosure of evidence***.
The primary objective of this technique is to enhance the likelihood of discerning deceit by detecting inconsistencies in the statements or comments made by suspects***.
Numerous studies have shown that the SUE technique enhances the precision of deception detection in various contexts, such as police investigations, employment interviews, and security screening. Police trainees who received SUE training were able to detect deception with an accuracy rate of 85.4%, compared to 56.1% for untrained trainees.
The Strategic Use of Evidence technique is designed to highlight discrepancies between a suspect’s statement and the available evidence, exploiting the differing cognitive processes of truth-tellers and liars. This technique is predicated on the assumption that individuals who engage in deception are prone to offering contradictory statements when confronted with evidence that challenges their narrative. This phenomenon occurs when suspects who are deemed to be guilty are compelled to modify their narrative, which often results in discrepancies. Conversely, suspects who are innocent and truthful maintain consistency in their explanations, which align with both the evidence and their original account.
The SUE technique has the potential to detect deceit and has been widely employed by law enforcement agencies and other organizations worldwide.
Some of the essential advantages that SUE offers are:

Mapping Details to Elicit Information and Cues to Deceit: The Effects of Map Richness 1
Antecedentes: Los investigadores utilizan a menudo mapas en las entrevistas forenses para verificar el camino seguido por un sospechoso para obtener más información y para valorar la credibilidad. Método: Analizamos los efectos del nivel de riqueza del mapa en la obtención de información e indicios de engaño. Un total de 112 participantes simularon participar en una misión secreta, pidiéndoseles que, en una entrevista, dijeran la verdad (a un agente amistoso) o mintieran (a un agente hostil) sobre la misión. En la fase 1 de la entrevista se recabó de los participantes un recuerdo libre de la misión y en la fase 2 se facilitó a la mitad un mapa detallado con los nombres de las calles y puntos de referencia de la ciudad en la que habían llevado a cabo la misión (ampliado hasta el 80%) y a la otra mitad se les dio un mapa menos detallado solo con los nombres de las calles y puntos de referencia principales (ampliado hasta el 60%). Se pidió a los participantes que describieran verbalmente la misión y el camino seguido al tiempo que la proyectaban en el mapa. Resultados: En comparación con los participantes instruidos para mentir, los instruidos para contar la verdad daban más detalles sobre ubicación, acciones, tiempo y objetos y complicaciones en la fase 1 y detalles nuevos sobre personas, ubicaciones, acciones y objetos y complicaciones en la fase 2. La riqueza del mapa no influía en el volumen de información producida y tenía el mismo efecto, tanto en los instruidos para contar la verdad como una mentira. Conclusiones: Este primer experimento en esta área de investigación sugiere que los investigadores no deben preocuparse por el nivel exacto de detalle del mapa cuando introduzcan estos en las entrevistas.

Purchasing the Right Inserter
Folding and inserting in a single pass; optical mark and optical character readers; in-line metering; barcodes for specificity of handling; matching stations for special inserts; computerized piece weighing; j ob information files to track pieces on the m achine; pr inting on the envelo pe after in sorting; and speeds over 20,1)00 pieces per hour. When buying an inserter, the principles of Mr. Williams' invention remain important today - efficiency, accuracy, and reliability, as well as systems integration and reporting. With these requi rements in mind, managers c an select the model of inserters by examining the following characteristics: * Speed - number of pieces per hour * Capacity - number of pieces per month * Turnover - minutes to change jobs * Throughput - number of envelopes per shift * Flexibility - types of paper and envelopes accepted * Adaptability - options to selectively insert, divert, or add messaging * Expansion - number ofpockets tor additional inserts * Accuracy - methodology to track pages and pieces * Accountability- reporting system that provides information on every job, and every piece Until recently, many managers would think these complexities were limited to large production facilities produc ing transactional mail.
