Principles of Kinesic Interview and Interrogation

In 1975, research studies performed by the Rand Corporation found that the single most important factor directly affecting the outcome of any investigation is the quality of information obtained from the witness or victim of the event. It follows that proper interviewing & interrogation techniques can significantly affect the success of an investigation. Principles of Kinesic Interview & Interrogation explores the complex challenges of basic & advanced interview & interrogation techniques. It discusses the multi-phase behavioral analysis system of kinesic interviewing, & shows how this system is used to conduct more effective & efficient interpersonal communications. It covers the principles of basic kinesics, including how to determine behavior from speech & body language, & also illustrates how behavior is often exhibited in written statements. In Principles of Kinesic Interview & Interrogation, these behavioral attributes are shown to indicate the "psychological fingerprint" of a particular person, which then can be combined with diagnoses of verbal & non-verbal behavior to develop an interview & interrogation that is specifically profiled for a particular subject. This book describes in detail the Practical Kinesic Analysis & Interrogation Phases. It shows how, in the Analysis phase, behaviors are observed & decoded to determine the subject's truthful & deceptive behaviors, & oral and/or written statements are taken & assessed. It also explains how, in the subject-specific Interrogation phase, information gained during analysis is most effectively used to obtain truthful statements from the subject. The art of interview & interrogation is a skill that must be learned, practiced, & honed. With Principles of Kinesic Interview & Interrogation, learning basic & advanced kinesic techniques is made simpler than ever before.Walters, Stan B. is the author of 'Principles of Kinesic Interview and Interrogation' with ISBN 9780849381539 and ISBN 0849381533.
