Lorraine Hope PhD is a Professor of Applied Cognitive Psychology at the University of Portsmouth and recently led the elicitation program at the UK National Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats (CREST). Over the past 20 years, her work has resulted in the development of innovative tools and techniques, informed by psychological science and practitioner demand, for obtaining accurate and detailed investigative information and intelligence across a range of investigative contexts (e.g., Timeline Technique; Self-Administered Interview; Structured Interview Protocol; Reporting Information about Networks and Groups (RING) task, Time Sensitive Questioning). Her work has also explored how operational factors (including response role and exertion) impact on reporting, including in firearms contexts. Her recent work examines the impact of culture and reluctance on information gathering and she is currently supervising a doctoral project focused on the experience and understanding of those engaged with the asylum process. With global impact, she regularly provides research and training for UK and international policing, intelligence, and security sectors including inter- and multi-national agencies, including the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (FBI, US). As a leader in interviewing research developments and experienced in working with a range of stakeholders and end-users, she has published over 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals and practitioner-focused outlets on investigative interviewing, intelligence elicitation, and applied memory topics.
