This theory is the most important component of the successful interview and is crucial to an investigator's ability to correctly interpret human behavior. It covers the rising debate over interviewing and interrogative ethics. It provides all-new case studies demonstrating the application of the author's techniques. It shows how to boost your success rate by replacing coercion and confrontation with persuasion and communication.
