"To discuss coercive interrogation methods, we must first understand the difference between an interrogation and an interview. The primary difference is that an interview is fact-finding, non-accusatory and usually takes place earlier on in an investigation. The interrogation, on the other hand, is accusatory, involves persuasive techniques and is usually conducted in a controlled environment. The most important aspect of any interrogation is that the interviewer should have, through prior investigation, established a presumption of guilt of the suspect."
