AB - The purpose of this study is to analyze difficulties encountered by interpreters while performing their jobs in police settings, and to present suggestions for improvement. To this end, the study conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 interpreters in police settings. The interviewees were asked about their conduct of interpreting, characteristics of discourses, job (or interpreting) environment, ethics of interpreting and neutrality, recruitment and training of interpreters, and employment and treatment of interpreters. Based on the analysis of the interviews, the study presented suggestions for improvement as follows: 1) improve treatment of interpreters by consistently applying detailed guidelines for interpreting fees, 2) reinforce protection of interpreters’ personal information and safety by improving investigators’ awareness, 3) create a job environment to maintain interpreters’ neutrality, 4) prepare a manual for investigation accompanied by interpreters, 5) upgrade criteria for recruiting interpreters, and 6) strengthen practice- and field-centered training.
