 The Art of Investigative Interviewing, 2nd edition
Charles L. Yeschke
The second edition of The Art of Investigative Interviewing outlines techniques
that can be used in any setting with any subject. This book guides the interviewer in how
to observe indications of deception and how to respond to them, and helps boost success
rates by replacing coercion and confrontation with persuasion and communication. New case
studies demonstrating the application of the author's techniques in actual interviews and
an entire chapter on interrogative ethics have been added to this edition. 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. 250 pp.
