The
offender’s admission may reveal his participation in a criminal act (actus
reus) and that his conduct was the direct cause of the crime (causation). The
act, although interrelated, is only a reflection of his character. However, it
does not fully reveal his character or criminal state of mind, and it is
imperative that this be displayed. The interview provides the investigator a
chance to extract and unravel his thought process and reveal his criminal state
of mind.
