- Eliminate improbable suspects
- Develop possible suspects or leads
- Increase the investigators' mental confidence in identifying truthful or guilty suspects through the interview process
- Identify proper interrogation strategies

Famous quotes containing the words factual and/or analysis:
“I don’t think any good book is based on factual experience. Bad books are about things the writer already knew before he wrote them.”
—Carlos Fuentes (b. 1928)
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
