Abstract	While numerous studies have been conducted regarding the objective indicators of deception, few have investigated the subjective strategies that are used. Knowing the strategies used by both innocent and guilty suspects as they attempt to convince investigators they are innocent is vital. In the current study, 90 students were witnesses, innocent suspects, or guilty suspects in a realistic mock theft. The strategies used to: 1) prepare for the interview, and 2) during the interview. Strategies of preparation and impression management will be presented and the paradox that made innocents appear deceptive and guilty.
