Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law enforcement officers face difficult challenges in light of the new social environment in which they must work. With additional public scrutiny on police tactics and interviewing methods, new techniques must be developed to address the changing political and social landscape. Interviewing and interrogating methods must change in concert with the increased focus on community policing and the public demand to take a softer approach to interviewing and interrogation. The new edition of this book presents positive interviewing techniques to conduct less intrusive, non-threatening interviews and interrogations without forfeiting investigative integrity. Positive interviewing techniques focus on rapport building, which serves as the keystone for successful interviews. and interrogations. Suspects and witnesses who like the people who are interviewing them are more likely to confess or provide information of value. Positive interviewing relies on psychological principles instead of threats and coercion to obtain needed information. The psychological principles presented in this book derive from proven psychological research and have been proven effective in the field. As with the previous book editions, this edition was written with working professionals in mind and contains advanced interviewing techniques. Some basic topics emphasized in other interviewing books will not be addressed. This book was designed as a quick reference guide rather than a comprehensive manual. The enhanced outline format of the text and the extended Table of Contents provide for easy reference, reading, and comprehension. The marketplace is replete with interviewing books and manuals; however, quickly locating information buried in thick manuscripts is costly and time-consuming. The style of this book is consistent with the manner in which law enforcement officers like to receive information: quickly, authoritatively, and to the point.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents advanced interviewing techniques for law enforcement, military, and security personnel. "Effective communication with a purpose" is the core of the interviewing process. This book expands on interviewers' communication skills to build their repertoire of interviewing techniques. The first three chapters describe the importance of interview planning, the interview setting, and the use of props to facilitate interviews. Chapter 1 cautions that while many interviews do not take the time to plan for interviews, the planning process is critically important to the outcome of the interview. Chapter 2 discusses the physical space in which the interview will be conducted, as well as seating arrangements and chair placement. Chapter 3 describes the most appropriate use of props, such as certificates and awards, as well as case files and security cameras. The next four chapters focus on establishing effective communication and how to illicit information under legal constraints. Chapter 4 describes how to evaluate interviewees in terms of their general attributes, their behaviors, clothes, accessories, personality traits, or mental illnesses. Chapter 5 focuses on how the interviewer can establish dominance within the interview relationship, in both controlled and uncontrolled interview environments, and chapter 6 provides tips on establishing rapport. Chapter 7 discusses how to use Miranda warnings as a positive interviewing tool to enhance the interview environment and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome. The next three chapters discuss deception and how to detect deception in interviewees through verbal and nonverbal cues. Chapter 8 cautions that the only certain method of discerning the truth is careful corroboration of the evidence, however several tips are offered for deception detection, including the Four-Domain Model. Chapter 9 presents nonverbal behaviors that indicate deception, while chapter 10 focuses on the verbal cues that may signal deception. Chapter 11 presents tools that interviewers may rely on to overcome interviewee resistance and chapter 12 describes techniques to overcome the interview impasse. Finally, chapter 13 underscores the importance of the oft-ignored end of the interview and offers strategies for effective endings.

Download or read book MEMORY ENHANCING TECHNIQUES FOR INVESTIGATIVE INTERVIEWING written by Ronald P. Fisher and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the obvious importance of eyewitness information in criminal investigation, police receive surprisingly little instruction on how to conduct an effective interview with a cooperative eyewitness. More than half of police departments have no formal training whatsoever for newly appointed investigators. Most texts in police science either completely omit the issue of effective interviewing techniques or provide only superficial coverage. This manual provides guiding principles to effective interviewing, with specific techniques to be used and others to be avoided. There are principles of memory retrieval so that the reader will understand why to employ specific techniques -- for example, when to use open-ended versus direct short-answer questions, effective use of pauses, asking follow-up questions, cues to name and number recall, etc. There is the strategy of interview sequential structure -- that is, what to probe for at the beginning, middle, and end of the interview. Also included are practical exercises and real-world experiences. The book will also be helpful for attorneys in conducting investigative interviews.

Book excerpt: Interviewing is easy, right? Anyone can do it… but few do it well enough to unlock the benefits and insights that interviewing users and customers can yield. In this new and updated edition of the acclaimed classic Interviewing Users, Steve Portigal quickly and effectively dispels the myth that interviewing is trivial. He shows how research studies and logistics can be used to determine concrete goals for a business and takes the reader on a detailed journey into the specifics of interviewing techniques, best practices, fieldwork, documentation, and how to make sense of uncovered data. Then Steve takes the process even further―showing the methods and details behind asking questions―from the words themselves to the interviewer’s actions and how they influence an interview. There is even a chapter on making sure that information gleaned from the research study is used by the business in such a way to make it impactful and worthwhile. Oh, and for good measure he throws in information about Research Operations. But, hey, that’s just the nuts and bolts of the book. The truly fun part is Steve’s voice and how he portrays this information through amusing anecdotes about his career, fascinating examples from other practitioners, and tips and tricks that only the most experienced UX researchers, like Steve, could come up with. As a nod to the pandemic, he offers ideas for the best way to interview someone remotely, and he also discusses personal bias―how to identify and deal with it so that it doesn’t affect interviews. Everyone will get something from this book. But beyond the requisite information, it’s simply a good read. And if you want another good read with stories galore, pick up Steve’s other book Doorbells, Danger, and Dead Batteries.

Field research takes a lot of preparation to be successful―and a solid plan in advance. There are critical techniques and frameworks for mapping human behavior. A good interviewer always puts their participants at ease. If you ask the right questions, you’ll get the right answers. A smart interviewer checks their worldview at the door. To establish a rapport with your interviewee, listen and don’t be judgmental. Research data is a combination of analysis and synthesis. The importance of research analysis must be continually highlighted and emphasized to the powers that be.
