Abstract

Witnesses’ statement is one of the most important sources of information in the investigation of crimes. In order to obtain the most informative and correct statement, witnesses should be interviewed as soon as possible after the incident. However, all too often this is not achieved, largely due to demands on police resources and times. Therefore, the memory of the witness may not be perfectly preserved due to its forgetting or distortions by time delay. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to narrow down the time between the event and the actual interview. Thus, it is better to develop a tool to collect the accurate information from witnesses speedily with the less police resource. By this reason, SAI(Self-Administered Interview) has been developed and now in use. The present study is to look into SAI and to find out if it is effective on the witness to recall the event accurately. In order to explore the changes of the information quality and quantity, SAI or Standard Police Questionnaire was conducted to 235 university freshmen in Kangwon province right after watching a violent video clip and conducted again one week later. The result showed that the group who was conducted SAI maintained the accurate information even one week after the event than the group who was conducted Standard Police Questionnaire. We further discussed the practical implications of the present findings.
