劳伦斯施利希特分析了女刑警的审讯实践和作证心理学的认识框架。这支警察特别部队成立于1920年代,其任务之一是审讯儿童。在这种情况下,FCP官员处于科学和实践知识体系之间。心理学家、社会工作者和联邦检察官办公室的官员旨在干预对儿童在法庭上陈述的可信度的评估。劳伦斯施利希特详细介绍了心理学家和警察如何定位自己,以及他们声称拥有什么特殊技能。他特别强调了女性心理学家的重要作用。本章认为,对于FCP的科学性,同理心和警察的实际知识的参考,应该是缺乏心理学家的专家证词。本章认为,关于解释儿童心智的主权的争论必然导致不同的自我解释。FCP单位的官员强调经验和同情的价值,而心理学家则提到科学和客观的价值。因此,FCP的官员在生物政治控制的实际要求与科学和心理知识之间起着中介作用。
Laurens Schlicht analyses the interrogation practices of the Female Criminal Police (FCP) and the epistemic outlines of psychology of testimony. This special unit of the police was established in the 1920s and one of its tasks consisted of interrogating children. Within this context, FCP officers were situated between scientific and practical knowledge systems. Psychologists, social workers and officers of the FCP aimed at intervening in the assessment of the credibility of children’s statements before court. Laurens Schlicht details how psychologists and police officers positioned themselves and what special skills they claimed to have. He particularly highlights the important role of female psychologists. The chapter argues that for FCP the reference to scientificity, empathy and the practical knowledge of the police was supposedly lacking in expert testimonies from psychologists. The chapter argues that the controversy over sovereignty of interpreting children’s minds entailed different self-interpretations. The officers of the FCP unit underscored the value of experience and empathy while the psychologists referred to the values of science and objectivity. The officer of the FCP therefore acted as an intermediary between the practical requirements of bio-political control and scientific, psychological knowledge.
