By John E Reid & AssociatesThe Behavior Analysis Interview is a structured interview, developed by John E. Reid and Associates, designed to elicit behavior symptoms indicative of truthfulness or deception. The core of the interview consists of asking a series of behavior provoking questions. These questions tend to elicit different responses from a suspect who is innocent of a crime than from a suspect who is guilty of a crime. Research has been conducted on these questions to develop models which define common characteristics of a truthful or deceptive response. This web tip will present a behavior provoking question called "The Punishment Question." The punishment question is generically phrased, "What do you think should happen to the person who (did crime?)" It is important that the punishment question specifically address the issue under investigation. In a homicide case, for example, the suspect would be asked, "What do you think should happen to the person who killed Jeff Johnson?" If the issue under investigation was the theft of $2500 from a vault, the punishment question would be phrased, "What do you think should happen to the person who took that $2500?" If a claimant was being interviewed concerning a possible fraudulent auto theft claim, the question would be worded, "What do you think should happen to a person who would lie about having his car stolen?"

Years of exposure to critical incidents and daily pressures to protect their communities can have an overwhelming effect on emergency responders. They begin to question themselves. "What is wrong with me? Am I the only person who feels like this? When will I begin feeling better about myself, my life, my job?"
First responders service society. Citizens rest more easily knowing that they are there, they are skilled, and they solve problems. In short, emergency responders are professional caregivers. But, who cares for the caregivers? When they are suffering from depression, exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or, worst of all, contemplating suicide, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other emergency services personnel deserve care, attention, and healing. A facility in California has helped many of these dedicated first responders recover from the toxic effects of the professions they have felt compelled to enter.

Crime labs are encountering substances so unusual that they may not even have an authenticated sample. As per the DEA Microgram in April 2007, the Tulsa Police Department Crime Lab, for example, received clear gelatin capsules labeled "Nortesten." That product supposedly contains norandrostenediol and norandrostenedione, but field tested positive as an amphetamine-like compound. Analysis indicated that it was 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenethalamine (2C-E) but not confirmed due to the lack of a standard at that time. The drug 2C-B has been around awhile, but now related drugs like 2C-E and 2C-I are popping up on occasion around the country. Though 2C-E and 2C-I have been in existence for some time, there is little documented history of human use (abuse).
There is a list of more than 175 of these phenethylamines and tryptamines and abusers gradually are working their way through the list of these various number/letter combination substances. Many have a limited history of human usage and thus little information and few authenticated standards for the average crime lab or drug testing lab. It seems we will be playing "catch up" for awhile yet!
