Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent book for all interested in interviewing and interrogation
I have to disagree with D. Rogers that there is "no scientific approach." Just one example would be the utilization of what is called by Dr. Robert Cialdini, (Influence; Science and Practice) the Commitment and Consistency Principal.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good text...
This is a good book for anyone going into law enforcement. I had to buy it for class, but I will be keeping it because the book will be great for reference down the road!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Criminal Interrogation and Confessions: bias and distortion at work
Old material that has been rehashed a number of times, but it is necessary to read it in order to understand the bias that is inherent in contemporary investigations.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Still the interrogator's Bible
Decades after its first edition, this is still considered the best work on interrogating a criminal suspect.

No detail or nuance is left unexplored, not only of the suspect's behavior, but of your own as well. This book is a must read for anyone involved in criminal justice.
