Synopsis

This book examines international developments in investigative interviewing. It analyses the cases and other factors leading to the paradigm shift in a number of countries, it considers issues that are of current interest to practitioners and academics including the continuing calls for the use of torture, whether it is possible to detect deception and the contribution of investigative interviewing methods to concepts of therapeutic and restorative justice.

The book responds to the recognition that there are currently no international human rights instruments that relate specifically to custodial questioning, whilst also offering a critical analysis of the attempts to influence investigator and prosecutor behaviour by recourse to human rights. This book will be essential reading for practitioners designing and delivering investigative interviewing training programmes as well as academics and students studying international criminal justice.

Media Reviews
The editors have assembled a magnificent collaboration between Criminologists and Psychologists internationally, bringing forth critical knowledge and insight. I believe that from an international perspective, its comparative approach will be invaluable. This handbook is essential reading and a comprehensive resource, and challenges the attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions for a wide potential readership. - Carol Spaderna, Aberystwyth University, UK
