Research has documented that few reported rapes are prosecuted by the legal system. The purpose of this study is to explain how the interactions between victims and detectives can strengthen or weaken the investigation itself. Twenty rape victims were interviewed to examine how law enforcement detectives' manner of questioning affects rape victims' level of disclosure. Using qualitative methodology, the results show that the detectives' manner of questioning can play a role in victims' disclosure. Detectives using a gentle manner of questioning with victims can help produce stronger victim statements and thus build stronger cases for prosecution.
研究记录表明，很少有被报道的强奸案件会被法律系统起诉。本研究旨在解释受害者与侦探之间的互动如何加强或削弱调查本身。二十名强奸受害者接受了采访，以调查执法侦探的提问方式如何影响强奸受害者的披露程度。使用定性方法，结果表明，侦探的提问方式在受害者的披露中起着作用。侦探以温和的方式与受害者交谈，可以帮助他们提供更有力的受害者陈述，从而为起诉建立更有力的案件。
