Book Cover
Handbook of Psychology of Investigative Interviewing

With chapters written by internationally acclaimed experts on obtaining information from crime suspects and witnesses, this authoritative handbook explores current developments in the rapidly growing field of investigative interviewing.

The book focuses in particular on the interviewing of suspects, and chapters examine their decision-making, denial strategies, false confessions, a model for interviewing suspects and the interviewing of terrorists. It also examines the changing contexts in which alleged terrorists and members of organized crime are interviewed. The chapters on obtaining information from witnesses centre on identification issues, enhancement of person descriptions, the cognitive interview, and the relation between the accuracy and consistency of witnesses' accounts. Topics such as recovered memories and assessing truthfulness are also included.

This volume is essential reading for both researchers and practitioners in forensic psychology and law, as well as policy makers and students of forensic psychology.
