The aim of the event was to discuss research priorities and collaborations for a behavioural insights group within the Metropolitan Police under the sponsorship of Commander Simon Letchford.

On Tuesday 10 March 2015, the Criminal Justice Centre, in conjunction with COPR, hosted a seminar on interviewing suspects that was delivered by Professor Ray Bull (Professor of Criminal Investigation at the University of Derby and Emeritus Professor of Forensic Psychology at the University of Leicester) and Professor Paul Taylor (Professor of Psychology at the University of Lancaster and Professor of Human Interaction at Twente University).

A healthy crowd including professorial staff, researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students from the Schools of Law and Psychology listened to both speakers presenting their research on police interview techniques. Professor Bull drew on his previous and latest research on the disclosure of evidence to suspects, while Professor Taylor spoke about his extensive research on interpersonal sensemaking in cross-cultural interactions.

Both talks were followed by a number of questions from those in attendance that generated stimulating and thought provoking discussions about the methodological and theoretical implications of the research findings presented by both speakers.
