Addressing current issues faced by professional investigative interviewers, this edition adds chapters covering the electronic recording of interviews, tools of influence and compliance, interviewing psychopaths, interviewing children, and false confessions. The author also discusses new techniques based on current research and the increased demands for expert testimony to be scientifically based.

I bought this book after being fascinated with the Jeffrey Deaver character, Kathryn Dance. If you're interested in human behaviour then it's worth a read.

This floored me and gave me a new and greater appreciation for what investigators go through. Used as a resource when writing, so it served my purpose well.

While I found the material hard to grasp at first, it does offer some fascinating insights into human behavior.
