In German crime and legal dramas, such as Tatort and the various SOKO franchises, investigations are typically methodical, with suspects and witnesses interviewed separately by police. The process is procedural and avoids dramatic, adversarial courtroom showdowns, focusing instead on careful fact-finding and structured dialogue.
These series collectively demonstrate the German cultural and procedural logic of minimizing direct confrontation in conflict resolution, aligning with the business practice of interviewing conflicting parties separately to reduce tension and facilitate resolution.
