CITP Exam 1 Questions & Answers 2023/2024
Define "culture" and its major components. - ANSWER-Culture, for law enforcement purposes, can very generally be defined as learned behavior associated with: a. The collective way of life of the people in a particular group. b. The standards, perspectives and the physical objects that constitute our everyday lives. c. The shared sets of "understandings" and expectations about how to think, feel and act. d. The sum total of ways of living built by a group of human beings. e.

There are four primary barriers to cross cultural communications that will be discussed: Language, Ignorance of Cultural Norms, Prejudice, and Ethnocentrism.
Identify racial profiling (to include race, color and perceived ethnic background) and the potential negative impacts that it may have on effective law enforcement. - ANSWER-Racial profiling is the use, by law enforcement officers, of race or ethnicity as the sole factor to justify initiating a stop, conducting a search or focusing an investigation on a particular individual or individuals.
Identify skills for improving cross-cultural communication. - ANSWER-It is virtually impossible to learn every aspect and characteristic of the many cultures a law enforcement professional will come in contact
with. But it is possible and it is expected to: a) Treat all as individuals with respect, while remaining safe. b) Understand and avoid confirmation bias. Instead, seek valid information and corroboration on a case by case bases or individual by individual, in search of the truth. c) Understand and avoid bias by not dismissing information that challenges an already established opinion or belief (belief perseverance). Seek all information. d) Understand and avoid illusory correlations perceptions of associations that do not exist (instead of assuming that a person is a criminal because they live in a high crime neighborhood): Hear their story. Demonstrate and/or identify interpersonal and communication skills required to generate rapport and obtain reliable information. - ANSWER-Self-concept, active listening, listening is a gift, mimicry/mirroring,
self-disclosure, establishing common ground, and motivational interviewing (MI).
Motivational Interviewing (MI) - ANSWER-a. Autonomy - Allowing the interviewee to cognitively or emotionally process the situation in light of the evidence, and elect to be truthful and cooperative. Create in your interviewees the perception that they have some control in their interview (that they're making autonomous decisions). You're actually in control, allowing the interviewee to cognitively and/or emotionally process the situation, and to come to the conclusion of cooperation and truthfulness on his/her own. By allowing the interviewee to guide the conversation or by setting up your interview room so that he/she feels comfortable and in control are examples of how you might afford an interviewee autonomy. b. Acceptance - Listen without judgment. When we listen, actively in particular, without conveying judgment through either our actions or our words, we communicate acceptance to the speaker, which encourages him/her to continue talking. You needn't disingenuously support or condone what he/she did to communicate acceptance; just listen without judgment. c. Adaptation - Appropriately meeting resistance and adapting to the interviewee's behavior meet resistance with reflection instead of confrontation. Meet resistance and adapt to the interviewee's behavior. What does your interviewee want to talk about? If he/she wants to tell you about who he/she is and what he/she stands for, let him/her (adapt to him/her) rather than insisting that he/she tell you right now about everything that happened. Adaptation can also refer to mirroring; you can mirror or adapt to an interviewee's speech or behavior to build rapport and facilitate better communication. Adaptation goes handinhand with Autonomy. d. Empathy - the attempt of a selfaware person to comprehend, without making judgments, both the positive and negative experiences of another (Inzunza, 2014).
Psychology of Persuasion - ANSWER-1) RECIPROCITY . We inherently want to return favors. This occurs in all societies. In the context of obligation, people say "yes" or feel obligated to reciprocate what is given to them. Caution must be given when considering this principle in law enforcement settings. Tangible or nontangible things must remain an element of social (not procedural or judicial) exchange, and the criminal investigator should be the first to give.
2) LIKING (which involves similarity and flattery). We're more easily persuaded by those we like and feel good about or to whom we're similar, so highlighting whatever similarities you can find between yourself
and your interviewee will leverage this. Just because your interviewee is 60 and you're 30 doesn't mean you're hopelessly dissimilar. Maybe your father is the same age as your interviewee and there are other similarities between the two of them, or you're the same age as his/her children and similar to them. These associations can also suffice. Of course, the closer the similarity between you and your interviewee, the better. Giving compliments (flattery) is another part of LIKING (you like or admire something about or related to the interviewee and express this "liking"). If we perceive that someone is being sincere in complimenting us, we tend to feel good about that person and grateful to him/her for what was said. 3) COMMITMENT AND CONSISTENCY . We strive to do and think what we profess to do and think. Align your behaviors with your values.
4) SOCIAL PROOF/CONSENSUS. We tend to have more trust in things that are popular, what others perceive as appropriate, or that have been endorsed by people that we trust.
5) AUTHORITY/CREDIBILITY . When the criminal investigator appears to be an expert, he/she leverages this principle. Without authority, there is chaos, and most people respond t
