Scaredycat, by Andy Blubaugh

How does Blubaugh's short film reveal productive thoughts about the nature of memory and how it might shape your approach to interviewing and interrogating suspects, victims, and witnesses?

Read through the resources on False Confessions (@ right). Using the piece on the Reid technique and whatever interests you from these sources, draft a blog entry that speculates on how you may use this information as you develop your Interview and Interrogation skills. Be sure to cite your sources using MLA format. If you find additionally useful sources, provide hyperlinks within the body of your post.

Interesting Story on "Addictive" Online Spectation Practices



Please enjoy this fantastic short story on the experience of watching "The Most Oddly Satisfying Videos" on YouTube. I found myself identifying with the writer, but I didn't expect the essay to take the clever turns it did.

If you read this, post some thoughts at your blog. Consider offering a brief Summary, first. You need not analyze in the sort of detail we're using in our current projects, though you are invited to do so -- if certain passage jump out at you.
