Written police records (i.e., a statement by a police officer based on the interrogation of a suspect) form an important piece of evidence in the legal justice system. Although by law a police record must contain the suspect’s own words as much as possible different reporting styles can be distinguished: the monologue, recontextualized and question-answer style (Van Charldorp, 2011; Van Charldorp & Schellingen, 2014). The current study explores the effects of reporting style on the reliability and credibility of police records and the interrogated suspects.
