What key questions should be asked during an interview with an informant?

Monica [59]

Answer:

Introduction: Before beginning the interview introduce yourself and your

project. As a general rule the introduction you write should do the following: 1)

help establish the purpose for the interview; 2) explain who is involved in the

process (community partnership members); 3) establish credibility for the

interview and yourself as the interviewer; 4) explain why their cooperation is

important in collecting the information you need; and 5) explain what will

happen with the collected information and how the community will benefit.

• Key questions: Draft five to ten questions important to getting the information

you have set out to collect. The key questions should be designed in order to

elicit more revealing information about your community issue or problem. Ask

questions that draw upon the informant's expertise and unique viewpoint.

• Probing questions: Probing questions encourage participants to reflect more

deeply on the meaning of their comments. These questions are also useful at

getting people to think about the cause or root of the problem you are

investigating.

• Closing question: Provide an opportunity for the key informant to give any

additional information or comments. Also ask the key informants for their

recommendations or solutions in addressing the problem.

• Summary: If time permits, quickly summarize the major comments heard

throughout the interview and ask informants if you covered all the major points.

Ask them if there is anything else they would like to tell you that you have not

asked them. Finally, thank them for their time.

How does the Fourth Amendment protect individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the police? When are there exceptio

sammy [17]

INTERESTS PROTECTED

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides that "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." The ultimate goal of this provision is to protect people’s right to privacy and freedom from unreasonable intrusions by the government. However, the Fourth Amendment does not guarantee protection from all searches and seizures, but only those done by the government and deemed unreasonable under the law. To claim violation of Fourth Amendment as the basis for suppressing a relevant evidence, the court had long required that the claimant must prove that he himself was the victim of an invasion of privacy to have a valid standing to claim protection under the Fourth Amendment. However, the Supreme Court has departed from such requirement, issue of exclusion is to be determined solely upon a resolution of the substantive question whether the claimant's Fourth Amendment rights have been violated, which in turn requires that the claimant demonstrates a justifiable expectation of privacy, which was arbitrarily violated by the government. In general, most warrantless searches of private premises are prohibited under the Fourth Amendment, unless specific exception applies. For instance, a warrantless search may be lawful, if an officer has asked and is given consent to search; if the search is incident to a lawful arrest; if there is probable cause to search and there is exigent circumstance calling for the warrantless search. Exigent circumstances exist in situations where a situation where people are in imminent danger, where evidence faces imminent destruction, or prior to a suspect's imminent escape. On the other hand, warrantless search and seizure of properties are not illegal, if the objects being searched are in plain view. Further, warrantless seizure of abandoned property, or of properties on an open field do not violate Fourth Amendment, because it is considered that having expectation of privacy right to an abandoned property or to properties on an open field is not reasonable. However, in some states, there are some exception to this limitation, where some state authorities have granted protection to open fields. States can always establish higher standards for searches and seizures protection than what is required by the Fourth Amendment, but states cannot allow conducts that violate the Fourth Amendment. Where there was a violation of one’s fourth amendment rights by federal officials, A bivens action can be filed against federal law enforcement officials for damages, resulting from an unlawful search and seizure. Under the Bivens action, the claimant needs to prove that there has been a constitutional violation of the fourth amendment rights by federal officials acting under the color of law. However, the protection under the Fourth Amendment can be waived if one voluntarily consents to or does not object to evidence collected during a warrantless search or seizure.
