To obtain information and solve crimes, law enforcement agencies use a range of tactics during interviews and interrogations. These methods, which can vary from straightforward questioning to more psychological approaches, are intended to persuade suspects to give accurate information.

The Reid Technique, which consists of three steps: factual analysis, questioning, and interviews. First, all relevant information about the case must be gathered. Next, a non-accusatory interview is conducted to determine the suspect's credibility. An accusatory interrogation is started if the investigator thinks the suspect is guilty. This type of questioning may include making up or presenting fake or real evidence, moralizing the crime, downplaying its seriousness in order to get the suspect to confess.

During an interrogation, law enforcement agents are allowed to utilize deception or "lies" as a tactic. This could mean lying about the evidence they possess or asserting untruehoods regarding the confessions of witnesses or fellow conspirators. Allowing deception is justified by the belief that it can overcome a suspect's resistance and reveal the truth. But this technique is debatable because, in certain cases particularly when applied to vulnerable people in the absence of appropriate safeguards it can also result in false confessions.

It is true that hours can pass during interviews and interrogations, this is done in an effort to weaken the suspect's resistance and raise the possibility of getting accurate information. Although this can be useful in obtaining important data, it presents ethical questions regarding the possibility of coercion and the effect on people's rights. Extended questioning sessions may cause a suspect to become extremely stressed and anxious, which may lead to the suspect making false confessions in an attempt to end the ordeal.
