Book Description
Drawing elements from psychology, philosophy, and sociology, Charles Yeschke applies the theory of 'Human Need' to the process of investigative interviewing. This theory is the single most important component of the successful interview and is crucial to an investigator's ability to correctly interpret human behavior. The techniques described can be used in any setting with any subject, to guide the interviewer in how to observe indications of deception and how to respond to them.

With all-new case studies and an entire chapter devoted to interrogative ethics, this superb second edition has been entirely updated while also maintaining the lively, instructive writing-style of the first edition.

KEY FEATURES: * Full coverage of the rising debate over interviewing and interrogative ethics * All-new case studies demonstrating the application of the author's techniques in actual interviews *Boosts the success rate of the interviewer by replacing coercion and confrontation with persuasion and communication

From the Publisher
The writing style and organizational methodology used in The Art of Investigative Interviewing, A human approach to testimonial evidence is nontraditional and captures the reader's interest. The approach used by Mr. Yeschke is to use knowledge bases and disciplines not normally associated with this subject matter. Of particular interest is the psychological or 'human need' to construct. This is the single most important element of an interviewing text, as the urge to reveal information, or not to, is fundamentally based upon an interviewer's ability to correctly interpret human behaviour. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
