Abstract

This chapter reviews the experimental research on survey modes, in which respondents are randomly exposed to different modes of delivering questions and obtaining responses, to determine which modes yield the highest rates of admission of illegal behaviors. The results indicate that telephone interviewing and face-to-face interviewing are the least effective modes in getting people to admit to illegal acts, while Web, mail, and telephone audio computer-assisted interviewing are the most effective modes.
