Forensic Witness Interviewing
Every investigation lives or dies on the quality of its interviews.
In this powerful and practical guide, Steve Kulls draws on decades of investigative experience to reveal the psychology, structure, and strategy behind effective witness interviews. Blending forensic methodology, behavioral analysis, and real-world case application, this book breaks down what separates useful testimony from unreliable narrative.
Readers will learn:
