Investigative Interviewing:
Psychology and Practice
Book Description - Well-informed and skilled
interviewing is a key factor in dealing with
suspects, victims and witnesses. Experienced police
and investigators know this from their own practice,
and there is now a substantial body of research and
theory in psychology which supports this practice
and can guide both training and the development of
investigative work. The purpose of this book is to
provide a concise and clearly written guide to the
psychological concepts and research-based knowledge
that can support and guide investigative
interviewing. It deals in particular with:
good basic practice and methods for investigative
interviewing
how to deal with false confessions and unreliable or
incomplete witness information
the special problems of interviewing children and
other vulnerable people
the process of interviewing suspects, victims,
witnesses, complainants and colleagues
This book will be of interest and value to a wide
range of professionals involved in training and
practice in the police or other agencies, as well as
social workers,lawyers, psychologists and
psychiatrists involved in forensic work. "The
strength of this book lies in its relevance for both
practice and research in investigative interviewing,
not only in Britain but internationally. Based on
psychological theory and research, it provides
practitioners with a wealth of information and
specific guidelines to help improve their
interviewing skills. Researchers are challenged to
address some of the, as yet, unanswered questions."

Detecting Lies and Deceit: The
Psychology of Lying and the Implications for
Professional Practice (Wiley Series in Psychology of
Crime, Policing and Law)
Book Description - Why do people lie, and how can
lies be detected? There is now a substantial
psychological literature relating to these
fundamental questions, and this book reviews the
relevant knowledge in detail, before focusing on
guidelines for best practice in detecting deception.
Psychological research is now available on
individual differences in lying behaviour (gender
differences, age differences and personality). There
is also interesting research evidence of the ways in
which deception is reflected both in real objective
non-verbal behaviour and also in the perceived
non-verbal cues which can help or mislead the
observer in detecting deception. Although the book
does include a major survey of the physiological
aspects of deception and the polygraph as a method
of detection, it also includes a thorough review of
current knowledge of content analysis and validity
assessment of speech and written statements. The
book ends by discussing how professionals can
improve lie detection by focusing on key aspects of
the behaviour of the liar and by awareness and
control of their own behaviour. Covers all three
aspects of deceptionnon-verbal cues, speech and
written statement analysis, and physiological
responses
Focuses on the behaviour and perceptions of the
observer which can hinder the process of detection
Based on the authors expert review of the research
and evidence, and on his practical experience and
connections with several police forces
"Without doubt, this book is the most important
contribution to research and practice in lie
detection to be published in years. For the first
time research about verbal, nonverbal and
physiological correlates of truth telling and
deception are reviewed comprehensively in one text.
This book will benefit those who have to decide
whether people are telling the truth or lying,
because it both reviews contemporary research and
provides practical guidelines." Frans Willem Winkel,
Free University of Amsterdam President EAPL
(European Association of Psychology and Law) This
book is aimed at students, academics and
professionals in psychology, criminology, policing
and law. |

What the Face Reveals: Basic and
Applied Studies of Spontaneous Expression Using the
Facial Action Coding System
Book Description - Facial expressions convey a vast
amount of information, but only recently have
investigators begun to explore the precise details
of what expressions are telling us about internal
states, social behavior, and psychopathology. The
Facial Action Coding System (FACS), which is a tool
for comprehensively measuring facial expressions,
plays a central role in this rapidly growing and
exciting field. This volume represents the state of
the art in research on facial expressions. Drawing
from psychology, medicine, and psychiatry, the
chapters address such key issues as the dynamic and
morphological differences between voluntary and
involuntary expressions; the relationship between
what people show on their faces and what they say
they feel; and whether it is possible to use facial
behavior to distinguish among different psychiatric
populations. The volume includes groundbreaking work
on how the face reveals emotions, deception,
psychopathology, and aspects of physical health. An
essential reference for anyone pursuing research in
facial expressions, this work combines classic
papers with up-to-date commentary by the authors.

Practical Aspects of Interview
and Interrogation, Second Edition (Practical Aspects
of Criminal and Forensic Investigations)
Book 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
interviewing False Confessions Field Interviewing
Sexual Harassment Interviewing Confronting the
Alleged Harrasser Pre-employment Interviewing New
Legal Aspects Frequently Asked Questions Covering
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.
