This book is about how to talk with people to learn what they know, what they've done, and what they believe about particular events, persons, plans or activities. It may be useful in law enforcement, intelligence, and industry contexts. The content is based entirely on research supported by U.S.- and U.K.-sponsored social and behavioral research that is publicly available; these references are included in the text. Also included are suggestions for instruction and practice. The authors have knowledge and expertise in both the underlying science and in the application of these methods in the real world.
