Book Description

0750679506 978-0750679503 May 29, 2006 3
The Process of Investigation, Third Edition, is a book written to address the needs of the private investigator in the security field. Continuing in the tradition of its previous editions, this book covers essential topics which are often overlooked in works that concentrate on the public aspects of investigation. Investigative skills such as surveillance techniques, interviewing and interrogation, evidence, and confessions and written statements are all discussed, and supplemented with updated case studies and examples from the authors' own experiences.

Major revisions to The Process of Investigation include mention and coverage of the effects of 9/11 on the security industry, the need to incorporate awareness of terrorism and terrorist activities when investigating any suspicious behavior, and two completely new chapters. Chapter 10 discusses interviewing and interrogations, and is written by Doug Wicklander and Dave Zulawski, premier experts in the field. Chapter 23 addresses the issues of workplace violence, and includes coverage of stalking, domestic violence spillover into workplaces, red flags, and the Theory of Threat Assessment and Management (TAM), among other topics. Additionally, other more minor modifications in legislation that have been passed and implemented since the last edition are addressed throughout the book.

- Serves as a valuable reference tool for both the student and the professional
- Recommended reading for both the ASIS Certified Protection Professional (CPP) and Professional Certified Investigator (PCI) certification exams
- Includes two brand new chapters about interviewing, interrogations, and the Theory of Threat Assessment and Management

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Thorough Introduction to the Investigation Process, July 12, 2008
This review is from: Process of Investigation, Third Edition: Concepts and Strategies for Investigators in the Private Sector (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent resource for someone who either has some familiarity in the field of Private Investigations, or for someone who is entering the field and needs to become more familiar with terminology and techniques. The book focuses an entire section on the "Who What When Where Why and How's" for investigations, which I found to be very informative. The information is accurate and is of such high quality that this book is used as recommended reference material for some State Written Examinations for Private Detective Licenses. That should say it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars In depth and inclusive, November 2, 2007
This review is from: Process of Investigation, Third Edition: Concepts and Strategies for Investigators in the Private Sector (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed this book. I have been investigating crimes in the public sector for almost a decade. This book gave me some new ideas and is a great resource for those transitioning to the private sector or just getting into it. I found this book to be very informative and would recommend it to anyone that is going into the field or is already in the field of private investigations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the average investigator, September 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Process of Investigation, Third Edition: Concepts and Strategies for Investigators in the Private Sector (Hardcover)
This book is a must read for any business owner that is dealing with theft or other security issues. It is also a great read for investigators that deal with invstigating criminal activities and conducting undercover investigations in the workplace.
The process of the "what, how, who, where, when, and why" concepts were also an interesting read. However the real world background investigations and surveillance investigations sections were a joke. This book is a great read but, in my opinion, is not something that should be used as a guide for any investigator starting out in the field and for anyone looking for general topics of investigations because "newbies" in the field will receive inaccurate information on how real world investigations (especially surveillance) are conducted.

If this book would be titled to make me believe that it was for corporate investigations and/or corporate and criminal case solving it would receive 5+ stars from me. However, since it leads me to think that this book is for overall investigations it only receives three stars.
