  • 3 good cop, bad cop

    хороший полицейский - плохой полицейский; злой следователь и добрый следователь, кнут и пряник (тактика полицейских при допросе, когда "плохого", жёсткого полицейского или следователя сменяет "добрый"; первый запугивает, второй делает вид, что проявляет понимание)

    A classic technique of psychological manipulation known as "good cop - bad cop" is extremely effective and is therefore common in many other areas besides police work. — Классический способ психологического манипулирования, известный как "хороший полицейский - плохой полицейский", чрезвычайно эффективен и поэтому часто используется не только в работе полицейских.
