This fresh new edition encompasses the current state of the art in the field of investigation and serves as an excellent training manual for classroom study for required courses in private investigation, for individual study in preparation for required state examinations, and as an update and refresher for veteran investigators. Chapters are arranged in a sequence intended to build a knowledge base and facilitate developing competent, effective skills. Chapter 1 describes the world of private investigation, Chapter 2 prepares investigators for further study by close attention to scientific methods, and Chapter 3 continues with a guide to personality and behavior. Chapter 4 discusses interview, investigation, and reporting, while Chapter 5 focuses on surveillance and security. Chapter 6 prepares the reader for his or her “day in court,” and Chapter 7 ends the book with self-care advice on coping with stress and managing the media. There are exercises throughout the book to actively involve the student, stimulate discussion, provoke thought, and deepen understanding. Useful resources and references end each chapter. In addition to the focus on private investigation, the book is exceptionally relevant to law enforcement, security and intelligence services, and insurance investigation.
