5.0 out of 5 stars Not just the best for cops, but for any of us..., November 4, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essentials of the Reid Technique: Criminal Interrogations and Confessions (Criminal Justice Illuminated) (Paperback)
If you cannot afford the expensive course given by Reid, or your agency is too "thrifty" to spend the money to send you, this book will give you a thorough overview. The technique is explained very well in two sections- the first part provides a synopsis of interview and interrogation essentials in some detail. Distinctions between Inerviews and Interrogations; Obtaining facts; the Interview Room; Investigator Attitude; Starting Interviews; Formulating Questions; Behavioral Analysis of Truthful and Untruthful Subjects. The second part explains the nine-step technique Reid has developed and perfected over years of use by many agencies. Written for a general reader, the writing avoids legalese and is well illustrated. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Resource, September 24, 2005
By 
Curt O. McDowell (Hudsonville, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of the Reid Technique: Criminal Interrogations and Confessions (Criminal Justice Illuminated) (Paperback)
As a school administrator, I find the information on interviewing and interrogation helpful in getting to the bottom of issues I previously have not been able to solve. The questioning techniques and the observation of behaviors presented in this book enable me to allow my students to tell the truth and help to solve their own issues. The resolution of these issues and the breaking down of lies and cover-up behavior is the first step to helping students make better decisions. This book is an invaluable resource in that regard.

This review is from: Essentials of the Reid Technique: Criminal Interrogations and Confessions (Criminal Justice Illuminated) (Paperback)
I used this for a training manual for my new hires as private investigators, it is hands down one of the best books ever written on interviewing and interrogation techniques. Even the experienced people were raving about the information in it. Can't ask for better than that!
