Review Quotes
"A Guide to the Professional Interview takes knowledge acquired from the police experience of interviewing victims, witnesses and suspects and illustrates how this can be generalized and applied to different professional contexts. This book has both new things to say, as well as familiar but important things said in an interesting new way." -Dr. Mary Schollum, Policing and Criminal Justice Consultant, UK
"'Time is short, stakes are serious. We'll trust our experience. Do you think I can afford time for a book?' The truth is you can't afford not to. We know what works and Rachlew, Løken, and Bergestuen explain clearly what to do even when time is short."-Darius Rejali, Author of Torture and Democracy (2007)
"In this highly informative book three very experienced and open-minded professional interviewers fully describe an evidence/research-based method of obtaining in interviews information that is as accurate, relevant, and reliable as possible."-Ray Bull, DSc, Professor of Criminal Investigation, University of Derby, UK
"The authors of this volume make a decisive contribution to the practice of rapport-based interviewing, a methodology that is revolutionizing the way suspects, witnesses and victims are questioned in criminal investigations and other information gathering. This revolution is long overdue: human dignity of all persons demands an end to confession-driven interrogation that all too often results in torture and illegal coercion. This book provides answers from professional experience and from rigorous scientific research."-Juan E. Mendez, Professor of Human Rights Law in Residence, Washington College of Law, US
