Overview
“Professors Milne and Bull have produced an updated magnus opus of the science of investigative interviewing. It is not only an indispensable substitute for the cruelty of torture and coercion in solving crime, as this volume demonstrates, it is also a much more effective way of establishing the truth and assigning responsibility, which is the only legitimate object of criminal investigations.”
—JUAN E. MENDEZ, Former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture (2010-2016)
“Investigative Interviewing: Psychology and Practice (1999) was nothing short of the clearest, most comprehensive approach on how to effectively interview in a criminal context while adhering to the highest possible ethical principles. Milne and Bull are back with a new edition of their landmark text, updating it to include, as contributors, many of the scholars who have been influenced by the original. This edition is sure to inspire another generation of practitioners and researchers to pursue truth and justice in investigative interviews.”
—CHRISTOPHER E. KELLY, PhD, Professor of Criminal Justice, Saint Joseph’s University (USA), Co-Director, International Investigative Interviewing Research Group
“This second edition of Investigative Interviewing: Psychology and Practice is a rare achievement. The Editors have brought together a stellar group of contributors to create more than a textbook: it’s a bridge between research and the realities of investigative work. This is a vital resource for anyone committed to ethical and effective investigations: one that informs, challenges and ultimately helps improve the way investigations are conducted.”
—PAULO BARBOSA MARQUES, Inspector, Polícia Judiciária
