The definitive, research-grounded guide to modern investigative interviewing - now fully updated for the 3rd Edition.

Most interrogation books teach you tactics. This one teaches you a method - and shows you exactly how to run it, start to finish.

Mastering Cognitive Interviewing is built around the Cognitive Interview. This edition doesn't just explain the theory - it walks you through two complete, real-time interview transcripts, stage by stage, showing you how the same framework plays out with a cooperative witness and how it adapts when a witness is reluctant, fearful, or protecting someone.

What's inside:

  • The full Cognitive Interview framework - The Enhanced Cognitive Interview, and the research behind why it works
  • Two complete worked interview transcripts, labeled stage-by-stage, plus a printable six-stage protocol checklist you can bring into the room
  • Real, documented case studies - including the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit and Ted Bundy, the Amanda Knox interrogation, the Central Park Five, the Lockerbie bombing investigation, the Boston Marathon bombing, and Brendan Dassey's conviction - each clearly marked to distinguish documented fact from illustrative reconstruction
  • A full legal framework across three jurisdictions: U.S. constitutional law (Miranda, Edwards, Berghuis, Frazier v. Cupp, Missouri v. Seibert), Canadian law (the Charter, R. v. Oickle, R. v. Singh).
  • Behavioral analysis and offender profiling fundamentals, deception.
Written for detectives, patrol officers working toward investigative roles, criminal justice students, and training coordinators, this book closes the gap between academic interviewing research and what actually happens in the room. Every technique is tied back to its evidentiary and legal foundation, so what you learn holds up not just in the interview - but in court.
