Every profession has specific philosophies and approaches to effective communication; Smart Talk: Contemporary Interviewing and Interrogation, First Edition, was designed to pinpoint those most useful to the criminal justice profession. Smart Talk covers both interviewing and interrogation techniques– along with their legal considerations–in a single volume. Exploring multiple approaches to interviewing, it clearly identifies communication techniques that improve the quality and quantity of information gathered from victims, witnesses, and perpetrators. In text exercises, landmark cases and field accounts bring a real world application to the book and reinforce how strong communication skills lead to more successful case investigations.
