Product Description

Review

"...provides clear examples of effective methods in interrogating perpetrators and witnesses...What is most appealing is the direct and specific behaviors that the authors demonstrate in detecting lying... -CRIME AND JUSTICE INTERNATIONAL Even if prisoners are excluded from the protection of the Geneva Convention, as at Guantanamo Bay, there are internationally agreed rules concerning acceptable interrogation. Go to Effective Interviewing and Interrogation Techniques by William Fleisher and Nathan Gordon to learn the basic psychology behind legal interrogation methods; it is a matter, we learn, not only asking the right questions but of developing an eye for body language and verbal clues that will enable a questioner to tell when a detainee is lying. - London Times

Product Description

Effective Interviewing and Interrogation Techniques presents a practical, straightforward method for interviewing witnesses and victims, interrogating suspects, and accurately identifying them as truthful or untruthful. Instead of relying on intuition or a "gut feeling," interviewers will learn how to utilize four types of questions and apply accurate assessments of nonverbal behavior and verbal clues. They will also learn how to quantify their observations and numerically assess the truthfulness of each suspect, to minimize subjectivity.

Readers will also learn how to use the authors' Integrated Interrogation Technique, a 10-point, highly successful approach to obtaining court upheld confessions. The advantages and disadvantages of recording an interview or interrogation are discussed in detail, as well as some of the current legal aspects of these processes.

Effective Interviewing and Interrogation Techniques includes numerous illustrations and pictures to enhance the reader's understanding as well as model worksheets and forms including: Consent Forms, Forensic Assessment Interview Technique Form, Numerical Evaluation Form, Sample Confession, and a Pre-employment Security Booklet. Investigators will turn to this book again and again to help find the truth in each person they interview.

I am constantly in the process of self-developing my knowledge and abilities as an interviewer and have read multiple books on the topic in the past. I believe this work to be the most complete and concise of what I have read so far. The information, methods of approach etc are explained in detail and are very relevant for real world scenarios one may find themselves in, (Particularly more so in my occupation of Law Enforcement). In my opinion this should be a compulsory read/study for any person who is serious about interviewing/interrogating persons/suspects.

Effective Interviewing and Interrogation Techniques 8 Aug 2002
By Essam - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I have read several books on this topic in the past. I found this book to be very interesting and easy reading. It contained excellent information applicable for anyone involved in the field of interviewing.

The book was very well organized, and answered many questions for even a trained interviewer/interrogator.

I would highly recommend it for anyone in the fields of intelligence, law enforcement, private investigations or polygraph.
