Once the subject has explained what happened, the interview can can ask follow up questions which allow him, or her, to expand and clarify their account of events. If necessary this may involve challenging aspects of the interviewee’s story if contradictory information is available.<ref> Investigative interviewing: The Literature, New Zealand Police, September 2005<name="ReferenceA"/ref>
