Book Overview
Become a well-informed and skilled investigative interviewer
In the newly revised second edition of Investigative Interviewing: Psychology and Practice, a team of distinguished forensic psychologists delivers an up-to-date and practical guide to the psychological concepts and evidence-based research that underpin and inform investigative interviewing. The editors have included works that examine the foundational skills and processes that make up the ethical interviewing of witnesses, victims, and those suspected of crime.
The book offers invaluable insights into the conduct of interviews of vulnerable persons--including children and people with learning disabilities--as well as how to transfer skills learned in a training course on interviewing into a real-world workplace. Each chapter is written by a contributor who is a leader in their field and provides coverage of topics ranging from organizational change management (for the implementation of the techniques discussed in this book) to cognitive interviewing.
Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to the principles of memory formation and their implications for investigative interviewing Comprehensive explorations of the cognitive interview, including discussions of how to help witnesses, victims, and suspects remember more Practical discussions of how to manage conversations, detect deceit, and develop rapport-based interpersonal techniques Fulsome treatments of how to convince members of an investigative organisation to adopt the techniques and strategies discussed in the book
Perfect for aspiring and practicing professionals engaged in the interviewing of participants in the criminal justice and investigation processes, Investigative Interviewing: Psychology and Practice will also benefit solicitors, barristers, social workers, and judges with an interest in the art and science of interviewing.
