THIRD DEGREE INTERROGATION APPROACH 2

Third Degree Interrogation Approach

The third-degree interrogation approach is simply the process of infliction of pain or

physical torture to a suspect. It also entails mental abuse by the police with a view of extracting

information and confession from suspects. The approach was widely used during the medieval

times in Britain (Kassin, 2008). In the current state, the approach is a violation of the human

rights and abuse of humanity. From a Christian standpoint, the approach should not be applied

since it is never an option or justified due to violation of humanity. There are several reasons as

to why the "third-degree" interrogation tactics is widely condemned.

Close view of the model shows that the third-degree interrogation entails coercion and

torture of the individual. The torture can be physical or even mental. Causing torture and pain to

the suspect is a gross violation of human rights. From the Christian standpoint, it is an abuse of

human dignity since it entails causing pain or even stress to the suspect. It is thus hurting and

may cause permanent injury or even depression to the affected parties (Leo, 2004). Still, it has

been associated with different impact after the infliction of fear and pain to the target party. The

model also is associated with threats and violence which may cause death to the individual.

Cases of structural damage to the flesh and the soft tissues have been associated with the

approach. In other cases, the suspects end up confessing for fear of death or injury. It is hence a

forced way of admitting to acts committed or even not committed (Leibowitz, 2007). It is

therefore against the morality, human dignity and value for life. Human life is sacred, and no

individual should take it, either through threat, torture or injury while forcing confessions. From

a Christian standpoint, it is hence advisable for one to apply modern methods such as

physiological manipulation and close observations to get the details. The model should be

shunned since it is a gross violation of human rights.
