Minor breaches of procedures, incorrect application forms, previous false explanations, abuse
of discretion and errors or expense fiddles should be identified, catalogued and summarized
on single sheets of paper as ‘key points’. These may be used during the interview to demon-
strate to the suspect that, whether he admits to the more serious matters or not, he is already
exposed to censure and this may lead him to conclude that he has little to lose in leading you
to the deep truth.
