THE USE OF THE COGNITIVE INTERVIEW AND HYPNOSIS IN CRIMNAL INVESTIGATION

V diplomski nalogi obravnavamo uporabno vrednost hipnoze in kognitivnega intervjuja, ki sta metodi za izboljšanje spomina pri žrtvah in pričah kaznivih dejanj. O aplikativni vrednosti obeh tehnik ni enotnega konsenza, zato lahko temo argumentiramo poljubno, kar je razvidno tudi iz literature. Za uporabo kognitivnega intervjuja ni toliko zadržkov kakor za uporabo hipnoze, ki se ji očita kontaminacijo spomina in je tudi s pravnega stališča zahtevnejša od kognitivnega intervjuja. Tudi pri policijskih delavcih in splošni javnosti naletimo na zadržke glede uporabe hipnoze, ki za uporabo kognitivnega intervjuja niso tako izraziti. Uporaba kognitivnega intervjuja pa pomeni tudi potrošnjo virov, saj za njegovo izvedbo potrebujemo ustrezen prostor in človeka, kar lahko predstavlja dodatne stroške. Tako za izvedbo hipnoze kakor kognitivnega intervjuja potrebujemo osebo z ustreznimi osebnostnimi lastnostmi in strokovnim znanjem. Z uporabo tako hipnoze kakor kognitivnega intervjuja se poveča količina priklicanih informacij iz spomina, ki so v pomoč pri preiskovanju kaznivih dejanj. Najboljši argument za uporabo obeh tehnik so zagotovo uspešni praktični primeri. V Sloveniji hipnoza kot dokazno sredstvo ni dovoljena, vredno pa bi bilo razmisliti o njeni rabi v predkazenskem postopku v indicialne namene. S pomočjo dodatnih raziskav je lahko prihodnost obeh tehnik svetla.The thesis discusses the utility value of hypnosis and cognitive interview, which are the methods for enhancing the memory of victims and witnesses of criminal acts. An agreement on the utility value of both techniques has not been reached, so the theme can be interpreted in different ways, which is obvious from the sources. There are fewer drawbacks for the use of cognitive interviews than for hypnosis which is blamed of memory contamination and of being more demanding in the legal point of view. The police as well as general public have more drawbacks for the use of hypnosis than for the use of cognitive interview. The use of cognitive interview demands more sources, because it is long-lasting and expensive. Both, hypnosis and cognitive interview demand the cooperation of professional and skilled personnel with certain characteristicts. The use of both, hypnosis and cognitive interview, increases the amount of retrieved information from memory, which helps at criminal investigations. The best argument for the use of both techniques are certainly successful cases from practice. In Slovenia, information retrieved by hypnosis is not accepted as evidence, however, it would be wise to consider it is use before criminal proceedings with intention to get more indications. The future of both techniques could be promising with the help of additional research
