INTRODUCTION
The criminological interview is the conversation that is held with the purpose
of obtaining information corresponding to the antisocial act in its entirety.
There are various types of interviews; For example, labor, they serve to inform
and evaluate the candidate for a job to identify possible antisocial behavior
and carry out prompt prevention; research, to carry out a specific antisocial or
preventive study; and personality, to portray or psychologically analyze an
individual, among others.

SUGGESTS THAT INTERVENE
IN AN INTERVIEW THE INTERVIEWER AND THE INTERVIEWEE INVOLVE. THE
FIRST, IN ADDITION TO TAKING THE INITIATIVE OF THE CONVERSATION,
ASSES EACH TOPIC OF HIS INTEREST THROUGH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND
DECIDES WHEN THE TOPIC HAS FULFILLED ITS OBJECTIVES. THE
INTERVIEWEE PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT HIMSELF, HIS EXPERIENCE
OR THE TOPIC IN QUESTION.
IN THE INTERVIEW YOU MUST DEMONSTRATE TO THE SUBJECT TRUST
ACCOMPANIED BY PERCEPTION; THAT IS, OBTAINING INFORMATION FROM
THE ENVIRONMENT, AND AT THE SAME TIME, GIVING THEM PROOF OF
INTEREST AND DEMONSTRATING THEIR OWN CAPACITY.
THE QUANTITY AND VALUE OF THE INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM
VICTIMS WILL DEPEND ON THE ABILITY OF THE PERSON
THAT YOU INTERVIEW AT THE PLACE WHERE THE INTERVIEW WILL BE
DONE.
THE INTERVIEW AS A RESEARCH TOOL IN ADDITION TO BEING USED BY
CRIMINOLOGISTS, IT IS ALSO USED BY DOCTORS, ANTHROPOLOGISTS,
SOCIOLOGISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS. THIS IS WHY MUCH OF THE DATA
THAT THE SOCIAL SCIENCES HAVE COMES FROM INTERVIEWS.

CRIMINOLOGICAL INTERVIEWER
IT IS THE PERSON WHO SEEKS INFORMATION USING A STRATEGY AND A
CERTAIN TECHNIQUE ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOLLOWING
CHARACTERISTICS:
• ACCORDING TO THE TYPE IT IS, IT MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A PERSON
WITH KNOWLEDGE IN THE AREA OF CRIMINOLOGY
A) YOU MUST HAVE DEVELOPED VARIOUS POWERS, INCLUDING THEM,
OBSERVATION AND LOGIC.
B) YOU MUST HAVE A SPECIALIZED GENERAL CULTURE THAT ALLOWS YOU
TO QUICKLY ADAPT TO EACH NEW SITUATION THAT PRESENTS YOU.
C) YOU MUST KNOW THE MOST CONVENIENT METHODS AND TECHNIQUES
FOR EACH SPECIFIC CASE.
D) THEY MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF LEGAL PROCEDURES THAT
GUARANTEE THE LEGITIMACY OF THE INTERVIEW AND BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH IT THEY MUST LOOK FOR THE NECESSARY
INFORMATION REFERRING TO THE CASE HE IS INVESTIGATING, THEREFORE
THE INTERVIEWER MUST KNOW WHAT IT IS FOR AND WHERE THE
INFORMATION HE OBTAINS FITS .
E) IT IS DIFFICULT BUT DESIRABLE FOR THE INTERVIEWER TO LEAVE HER
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, POLITICAL OPINIONS, PRESSURES MOTIVATED BY
PERSONAL INTEREST, FRIENDSHIPS, RIVALITIES.
F) YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO MANAGE THE INTERVIEWEE'S EMOTIONS.
G) YOU SHOULD NEVER DISMISS THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE INTERVIEW

INTERVIEWED, CHARGED
ACCORDING TO CANNELL AND KAHN (1968), THERE ARE THREE CONDITIONS
THAT ARE REQUIRED ON THE PART OF THE INTERVIEWEE TO CONDUCT A
SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW: MOTIVATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INTERVIEW,
KNOWLEDGE OF THE ROLE THEY MUST PLAY AND ACCESSIBILITY TO THE
REQUIRED INFORMATION.1. MOTIVATION: THE WILLINGNESS TO
COOPERATE IS A NECESSARY CONDITION TO GUARANTEE THE SUCCESS OF
AN INTERVIEW. LETTERS OF INVITATION, MEETINGS WITH THE COMMUNITY
AND PERSONAL VISITS TO INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS IN THE LOCATION
ARE SOME OF THE MEANS TO INFORM ABOUT THE RESEARCH AND ITS
RELEVANCE, AS WELL AS TO MOTIVATE THE PARTICIPATION OF THE
INTERVIEWEES. IT IS KEY THAT IN THIS PERIOD THE CONFIDENTIAL
NATURE OF THE INFORMATION IS EMPHASISED. A PRECISE DESCRIPTION OF
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY AND THE BENEFITS THAT CAN BE DERIVED
FROM IT MAY BE MOTIVING FACTORS.2. KNOWLEDGE OF THE ROLE: IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT ONCE THE INTERVIEWEE KNOWS THE OBJECTIVES OF
THE STUDY, THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE ROLE
THEY HAVE AGREED TO ASSUME AS INFORMANT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH

CONCLUSION
THE CRIMINOLOGICAL INTERVIEW WILL ALLOW US TO UNDERSTAND THE
CAUSES, MOTIVES AND/OR CRIMINOGENIC FACTORS THAT LED THE
SUBJECT TO COMMIT A CRIME AND THE WAYS OR PATHS HE FOLLOWED TO
COMMIT THE ILLEGAL ACCORDING TO HIS LIFESTYLE, HIS WAY OF BEING
AND BEHAVIOR, ANALYZES EACH OF THE ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE THROUGH THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE US, BOTH
VERBAL AND PHYSICAL. SO REMEMBERING THAT WE DO NOT ONLY
EXPRESS OURSELVES WITH VERBAL LANGUAGE.
