Summary

This authoritative handbook explores current developments in the rapidly developing field of investigative interviewing. The old interrogation model has come under scrutiny following miscarriages of justice, creating a need for a new understanding of the complex psychological processes involved with questioning conducted as part of criminal investigations. This book takes a holistic and international approach with sections on eyewitness identification and evaluating truthfulness, and coverage of developments in several countries.
