questions should be avoided. And answers must be oral, clear,
explicit and responsive.
*Simplicity of questions – the investigator should ask questions
with simplicity for the subject to easily understand.

suspects feel as though there is a way to justify the suspect’s
participation in the crime.

avoid questions that is answerable by either yes or no because it
cannot determine the guilt of the subject and could not give him a
sufficient information.
