Education

[edit]

Nadja Schreiber Compo received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the Universitat Trier which is located in Trier, Germany. After receiving her Bachelor's she went to the University of Munster in Munster, Germany, to earn her PhD in Psychology in 2000.[2] During her education, she was a second author on several academic articles including: "Interviewing techniques in the McMartin Preschool and Kelly Michaels cases: A quantitative analysis"[3] published in 1997 and "Child interviewing techniques in two ritual abuse daycare cases: A quantitative comparison"[4] and "Child interviewing techniques in the McMartin Preschool and Kelly Michaels cases: A quantitative comparison"[5] both published in 1998. The same year that Compo graduated from the University of Munster with her PhD, she published her first solo article. This article was titled, "Interviewing techniques in sexual abuse cases—A comparison of a day-care abuse case with normal abuse cases"[6] which focuses on interviewing techniques for children in different criminal cases.

Career

[edit]

Currently, Nadja Schreiber Compo has worked a professor at Florida International University (FIU), specifically in the Legal Psychology Doctoral Program.[7] Dr. Compo has worked at FIU since 2005.[2] During her time at FIU she has created an Investigative Interviewing Lab for undergraduate and graduate students to participate and study in. In this lab the students focus on investigative procedures, including interviews, and witness memory.[8] Dr. Compo has also co-written, written, and published other research papers while at FIU. "Intoxicated witnesses and suspects: Procedures and prevalence according to law enforcement"[9] was one of the articles she co-authored. This article talked about a survey taken about how possible suspects and witnesses who are under the influence of alcohol are interviewed.[9] Another article she co-authored was about deception detection, entitled "Lie detection during high-stakes truths and lies".[10] This article talks about a study conducted testing police officers and students with a video to see who is lying at traffic stops. During her career she has also been a guest speaker for several different organizations and departments, including the International Forensic Research Toxicologists, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the International Forensic Research Institute, the Miami-Dade Forensic Service Bureau, the Research Unit for Criminal, Legal and Investigative Psychology at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.[11] Due to her field of research and knowledge, Nadja Compo has also been able to work with several law enforcement agencies.[11]

Research

[edit]

One of the major sub-disciplines that Dr. Compo focuses on within her research, is police procedures and interviewing techniques. In one article she has published, she conducted a field study and found that many police investigators do not use the police tactics suggested by psychologists.[12] Dr. Compo has also studied, written and published numerous articles about eyewitness memory and protecting, specifically, intoxicated witnesses.[13] Some of these articles include: "Bar study: Interview and show-up performance of alcohol-intoxicated eyewitnesses in the field";[14] "Does alcohol loosen the tongue? Intoxicated individuals' willingness to report transgressions or criminal behavior carried out by themselves or others";[15] "State of Intoxication: A Review of the Effects of Alcohol on Witnesses’ Memory";[16] "Witness memory and alcohol: The effects of state-dependent recall".[17] All of these articles that Dr. Compo co-authored mention alcohol-intoxicated witnesses and the effects on their memories when it comes to testimonies for crimes. Dr. Compo's research is focused on looking for a way to improve eyewitness statements, with how they are retrieved and presented.[1] Some of the current studies that Dr. Compo is conducting at Florida International University (FIU) focus on eyewitness memory and interviews, specifically intoxicated individuals.[7]
