In the investigation of a criminal event, the police may encounter witnesses or victims experiencing symptoms of being traumatized (e.g. anxiety, intrusive thoughts or avoidance of trauma-related stimuli). This may pose a challenge in investigative interviews where police interviewers aim to obtain reliable and detailed accounts. Based on previous theory and research, this theoretical paper aims to outline recommendations for police interviewers for approaching traumatized adult witnesses to facilitate communication, attend to the well-being of the individual and reach investigative aims. First, factors considered important for preparing for the interview and building rapport are presented. Then, different aspects of how to facilitate the interviewee's account will be described with an emphasis on how police interviewers can approach emotional reactions to maintain rapport.
在刑事事件调查中，警方可能会遇到有受创伤症状（如焦虑、侵入性思维或回避与创伤相关的刺激）的证人或受害者。这可能会给调查性访谈带来挑战，因为警方访谈人员旨在获取可靠且详细的陈述。基于以往的理论和研究，这篇理论性论文旨在为警方访谈人员提供建议，指导他们如何与受创伤的成年证人接触，以促进沟通、关注个人福祉并实现调查目标。首先，介绍了对准备访谈和建立融洽关系至关重要的因素。然后，将描述如何促进受访者陈述的不同方面，重点是警方访谈人员如何应对情绪反应以维持融洽关系。
