Which describes the best approach to use when interviewing an alleged perpetrator?

Interrogate them intensely
Advise him of his rights in the dependency system
Avoid mentioning legal implications
Promise no legal action will be taken

The correct answer is: Advise him of his rights in the dependency system

When interviewing an alleged perpetrator, the best approach would be to advise them of their rights in the dependency system. This is important as it ensures that the perpetrator is aware of their rights and cannot claim later on that they were not properly informed. It also shows respect for the alleged perpetrator and the legal process. Interrogating them intensely (option A) may lead to false confessions or cause them to feel threatened and uncooperative. Avoiding mentioning legal implications (option C) may result in the perpetrator being unaware of potential legal consequences. Additionally, promising no legal action (option D) is not appropriate as it may compromise the investigative process and the perpetrator may feel they can act with impunity.
