SUMMARY:Oral Presentation: For the Record: A collaboration to improve evidential consistency in the production of police  investigative interview records
DESCRIPTION:Title: For the Record: A collaboration to improve evidential consistency in the production of police  investigative interview records \nAbstract:  \nThis paper will present the findings of a pilot project being undertaken as a collaboration between  academic researchers and an English police force\, which applies linguistic research to the process of  producing written transcripts of investigative interviews with suspects (ROTIs). This process is of real  importance since these written records are the version of the interview which is routinely presented  in court as part of the prosecution evidence\, yet the original spoken data are (necessarily)  substantially altered through the process of being converted into written format. Our aim is to  develop methods of reducing this routine interference with interview evidence. \nThe project involves linguistic analysis of interview audio and corresponding transcripts\, focus  groups with transcribers and interviewers\, and psycholinguistic experiments to demonstrate the  differences in interpretation that can result from different formats and transcription choices. \nThe intended outcome is to produce transcription guidelines and training to assist transcribers in  producing ROTIs which encapsulate more of the meaning conveyed by the original spoken  interaction\, and to enable consistency of interpretation of features such as punctuation and pauses  for the reader (e.g. fellow investigating officers\, CPS\, courts). We are also seeking to recruit other forces to roll out the project more widely. \n  \nAuthors: Dr Kate Haworth\, Dr Emma Richardson\, Dr James Tompkinson\, Dr Felicity Deamer\, Dr Magnus Hamann

SUMMARY:Oral Presentation: For the Record: Assessing force-level variation in the transcription of police-suspect interviews in England and Wales
DESCRIPTION:Title: For the Record: Assessing force-level variation in the transcription of police-suspect interviews in England and Wales \nAbstract: \nRecordings of police-suspect interviews in England and Wales are rarely played in court\, despite being a key evidence source. More often\, interviews are presented in the form of a ROTI (Record of Taped Interview) transcript. However\, research (Haworth\, 2018; Richardson et al\, 2022) has shown that significant alterations can occur as the interview is converted from audio into a transcript. Furthermore\, no knowledge exists as to how much variation exists between individual police forces regarding ROTI production.\nThis paper forms part of a wider project examining ROTI transcription practices. Freedom of Information requests were sent to all English and Welsh forces containing questions relating to current ROTI transcription practices and transcriber training. The questions facilitated an assessment of both the level of variation between forces\, and whether specific ROTI transcription problems can be linked to higher-level police processes. The findings illustrate that there are numerous differences between individual forces regarding both ROTI production and training procedures. The findings also suggest that differences in force-level approaches to ROTI transcription could produce substantially different evidence for courtroom use. The findings are used to suggest improvements in ROTI production and training procedures that could subsequently improve the consistency of interview evidence in court. \nReferences \nHaworth\, K.
