Provides a solid overview of investigative interviewing practices in the UK, particularly post 1992 and the introduction of PEACE. Chapter 9 on training methods is particularly insightful with a lot of useful info for anyone researching this area.

I thought I'd done a writeup after I read it but apparently not? Too bad, I wanted to remember more from this. Interesting writeup of where police interviewing usually goes wrong (and is trained wrong) and how it can go correctly, based on British law enforcement studies. There was a big focus on the ways in which responses to interviews can fail to match up even with further responses from the same person, and it goes into how to manage that.
