From the Back Cover:
Criminal investigations are all about the search for truth -- from the first field interview by the officer on the street, to the interrogation of a suspect by a detective, to the questioning of a witness during trial. What really happened? Who committed the crime? Who is telling the truth? This book shows how to use interviewing and interrogation techniques to find the answers to these questions with a high degree of accuracy.
Law enforcement personnel spend a great deal of time asking questions, and an entire case can rest on how they interpret the answers, who they believe, and how they obtain a confession. Unfortunately, most of these individuals do not receive proper training to know how to get to the truth.
