Summary/Abstract: In this article we aim to analyze and evaluate some interviewing and feigned behavior detection techniques used by researchers and practitioners in policing.We will come with an explanation and critical interpretation of the principles and mechanisms that underpin the main techniques for detecting simulative behavior in the work of investigative and criminal prosecution officers.We will refer to the effective techniques of detecting simulation and the ineffective ones, the mistakes made by some practitioners to use stereotypes in interpreting the veracity of information.We will analyze elements of applied cognitive psychology from a forensic aspect, as a field of interdisciplinary interest.We will come up with an assessment of the coercive approach, which uses psychological manipulation of witnesses and suspects.
