Synopsis

Among the most important skills for police officers to develop are those related to interviewing. In addition to practical knowledge of techniques, skilled interviewers must have a solid understanding of the greater legal and psychological context in which the interviews they conduct take place. In the second edition of Interviewing and Investigation, authors Kerry Watkins, John Turtle, and James Euale draw on their more than seven decades of combined practical experience and academic study in the fields of criminal investigation, criminology, psychology, and educational instruction to create a text that: (1) provides novice investigators seeking to acquire basic interviewing skills with a practical guide, and (2) provides experienced investigators who wish to continue their professional development with a comprehensive professional reference. The second edition provides updated and expanded discussion of the enhanced cognitive interview; the issue of false confessions; eyewitness identification procedures; the case law dealing with the admissibility of statements; and methods of interviewing, including expanded coverage of the Reid method. New topics covered include the PEACE model of interviewing; a comprehensive examination of the key Supreme Court of Canada case R. v. Oickle; an analysis of the Russell Williams interview; and a new concluding chapter discussing past investigative failures, the lessons learned from these failures, and strategies that investigators can use to manage the risk of error. "An informative, current, and cost-effective resource for students and practitioners alike." - Detective John Tedeschini.
