Preferred term

PEACE interview model  

Definition

  • An investigative interview technique used in England and Wales with adults suspects and complainants. The procedure "involves five discrete stages: Planning and preparation; Engage and explain; Account, clarification, and challenge; Closure, and Evaluation. Before any questioning, interviewers are taught to build rapport with the witness, to ensure that the interview is a two-way conversation, with witnesses feeling free to use their own words and express uncertainty if they do not know the answer to a question." (Baddeley et al., 2023, p. 15).
