Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva hur poliser i yttre tjänst vid ett visst polisområde genomför ett förhör med en målsägande vid en misshandel och i vilken utsträckning de använder evidensbaserade metoder i sina förhör. Informanterna (N=7) har deltagit i semistrukturerade intervjuer. Informanterna lägger stor vikt vid det fria berättandet under sina förhör. De berättar om ett strukturerat sätt som de genomför sina förhör på. Strukturen liknar PEACE-modellen, vilken är evidensbaserad. Det finns avvikelser från PEACE-modellen när det gäller förberedelser innan förhöret vilket tycks bero på tidsbrist. I PEACE- modellen kan flera fristående metoder inkluderas, vilka också har evidens. En av modellerna som kan inkluderas är den kognitiva intervjun. Den kognitiva intervjun innehåller olika delar, i studien framkommer att två delar av den kognitiva intervjun, perspektiv och kronologiskifte inte används av poliserna. Informanterna berättar att deras teoretiska grund lagts under utbildningen till polis men att de sedan utvecklat sin förmåga under det praktiska arbetet. / The purpose of the essay is to describe how police officers in external service at a police area conduct an interrogation with a plaintiff in an assault and to what extent they use evidence-based methods in their interrogations. The informants (N = 7) participated in semi-structured interviews. They attach great importance to the free narrative during their interrogations. They talk about a structured way in which they conduct their interrogations. The structure is similar to the PEACE model, which is evidence-based. There are deviations from the PEACE model when it comes to preparations before the hearing in the form of lack of time. In the PEACE model, several independent methods can be included, which also have evidence. One of the models that can be included is the cognitive interview. The cognitive interview contains different parts, the study shows that two parts perspective and chronological shift are not used by the police. The informants say that their theoretical foundation was laid during the training for the police, but that they then developed their ability during the practical work.

<p>The purpose of this study is to analyze the interrogation transcripts of interviews with girls between the age of 11 and 16 who are alleged victims of sexual crimes. The examination is done from a gender perspective, by comparing six interrogations by male interrogators and eight interrogations by female interrogators. The study has used linguistic indicators relating to the interrogation methodological guidelines, in order to highlight how the interrogators give girls the opportunity and space to share their experience of the alleged sexual offense. Text material is categorized based on themes and analyzed in detail to find any gender-specific patterns of hearing leaders and if the girls are given space and opportunity for a free storytelling. The results show that in several themes, differences between the male and the female interrogators can be discerned. It has emerged that male interrogators in this study have a greater use of social support, that there are various techniques used by men and women between how the names of sexual words are created and that the female interrogation leaders questioning on average are longer and have a higher frequency of issues. In other dimensions, that has been investigated the differences are not significant.</p>
