Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations
Practical Aspects of Interview and Interrogation
Practical Aspects of Interview and Interrogation provides both law enforcement and private sector investigators with a methodically structured guide on how to deal effectively with the complex problems of interviewing and interrogating victims, witnesses, and suspects.
Written by two experts who have conducted over 15,000 interviews and interrogations from theft to homicide, this book covers the entire sequence of events that occur during the interview and interrogation process. Zulawski and Wicklander provide a realistic building block approach that allows the interviewer to move from a preliminary accusation to an ultimate confession by applying practical rules to the process. The authors present their method in a cookbook fashion, giving readers the flexibility to select a number of different paths to proceed in an interrogation of a suspect.

Together with the Reid technique, W-Z provides some of the best training in interrogation available today. The book covers most of what one needs to know, but is probably best used as a reference - practical training in this field is rather more important.
The only problem I have with W-Z is that there is clearly pseudo-science lurking at the edges of what they teach. Neuro-liguistic programming is bunk, but they reference it in the book - and they did as well during the advanced cold-interviewing seminar I attended two weeks ago.

I know this is not your normal recreational reading, but it was handy, and actually, quite fascinating. I find that I listen to conversations quite differently now. Probably handy for anybody who has teenagers! LOL
