Product Description
What makes a person confess to a crime he did not commit? Was he coerced? Is he trying to protect someone else? Interrogation has come under attack as opponents focus on false confessions. However, most cases are still resolved by confession, not forensic evidence. Among the new topics covered in the Second Edition of this bestselling book, Practical Aspects of Interview and Interrogation focuses on why false confessions exist and how to avoid them.Written by two experts who have conducted over 15,000 interviews and interrogations from theft to homicide, this book expands on the valuable topics in the previous edition to include discussions of:Telephone interviewingFalse ConfessionsField InterviewingSexual Harassment InterviewingConfronting the Alleged HarrasserPre-employment InterviewingNew Legal AspectsFrequently Asked QuestionsCovering the entire sequence of events that occur during the interview and interrogation process, this book provides a realistic building block approach that allows you to move from a preliminary accusation to an ultimate confession by applying practical rules to the process. It gives you the flexibility to select a number of different paths to proceed in an interrogation of a suspect. Useful in both the law enforcement and private sectors, Practical Aspects of Interview and Interrogation, Second Edition allows you to deal effectively with the complex problems of interviewing and interrogating victims, witnesses, suspects, and even potential employees.

Practical Aspects of Interview and Interrogation March 8, 2007

I found this book to be very informative. A big part of my job is interview and interrogation. This book was able to put into context what I have already been doing for a number of years. I found that I was referencing the book in my head as I watched the people I was speaking with and knew by their actions how truthful or untruthful they were being. If this is the type of work you do the book is a very good read.

This is a great book for the first time user of interviews and interrogations. It also helps refresh the seasoned professional in the key elements. I have enjoyed it and have found it useful, even though I have been working in the field professionally for 14 years.
Surprisingly good May 16, 2010

I must admit I bought this book with certain insecurity. The price tag is a bit high for a "shot in the dark".
After reading it, I am very glad I bought it. It is packed with great advice on the psychology of lying. By demonstrating how the mind of the lier works, and how the interviewer must use that knowledge to his advantage, the book greatly improved my skills, in a practical way. I believe I will use much of this knowledge in my work. I don't recommend buying the kindle version if you intend to read it on your PC, because it is a lengthy book, which you will probably want to annotate a lot. Advantages of the computer apart, I prefer to annotate physical books.
Very interesting perspective July 14, 2010

I am not an investigator and not anywhere close to it. When I stumbled upon this title I was looking for interviewing tips in journalistic sense however I could not resist and ordered it. I did not regret - it was an interesting read end to end, except maybe written confession part. As title suggests this book is not based on scientific research and it does not even have "references" section - it is based on author's own experiences in its entirety. I did find surprising reference to Neuro-linguistic Programming which was seemingly brought up in connection with eye movements. One of central ideas pursued in this book is how investigator can extract confessions from subjects by helping them to come up with "nice" justifications of their actions and reducing the perceived severity of consequences. You may find it interesting if you are into CSI stuff, I am not, but chapter on interviewing may still give you few very useful tips to apply when you speak to your used car dealer next time. And reference to "bad cop good cop" stereotype in movies - that was kind of neat.
Excellent April 12, 2003

I went to the Wicklander seminar recently. The book was just as great as the class, I'm very fortunate to have been able to go and receive the book. Thanks!
