Investigative Interviewing: A Conversation Management Approach is a unique and practical text providing police officers with practical guidance on what to do prior to, during, and following investigative interviews for all kinds of witnesses, from vulnerable adults and children to suspects. It offers a comprehensive tool-kit to help you assess and monitor interviewees and capture the fine-grain detail of what is said, or indeed not said, during an interview. With 'how-to' guidance advising you how to operate ethically and to maximum effect at each phase of interviewing, each chapter advances the core concepts of case management through a subject-centric approach and there is in-depth discussion of the psychological underpinning of the Conversation Management technique which lies at the heart of the PEACE interviewing model.
The second edition has been updated to reflect significant developments in interview practice, including a new chapter on interviewing the suspect who is obliged to disclose and greater attention to the demands of interviewing an individual who does not speak English. There is also a greater practitioner focus through the involvement of co-author Andrew Griffiths, a Detective Superintendent at Sussex Police.
