We have just published Gary David, Anne Rawls and James Treinum’s article “Playing the Interrogation Game: Rapport, Coercion, and Confessions in Police Interrogations” on Early View of Symbolic Interaction. In the article the authors show how police interrogations are organised in order to elicit a confession from the accused. The article is accompanied by an excellent video abstract that is shown below. SSSI Members can access the article by clicking on the image below.

Interactionists have always been interested in communication and the media. One of the scholars who have been at the forefront of interactionist research on the media over the past few decades has been David Altheide as his many articles in our journal and his book publications show. David kindly agreed to review a new book “The Mediated Construction of Reality” by Nick Couldry and Andreas Hepp. Members of SSSI can access the review by clicking the image below.
