Foundations of Investigative Interviewing
A Practitioner's Guide
by John Tedeschini & Sandy Jung
Written for professionals without formal interviewing training, this book covers the practical skills you need, with techniques that work across all types of investigations.
For example, an investigation of academic misconduct in a school, harassment and threats on a campus, conflict of interest behaviors by a government official, sexual misconduct in a workplace, and unethical practice in a business, to name just a few. You’ll learn how to conduct interviews more effectively, gain proficiency with evidence-based techniques, feel more confident in your approach, and build stronger relationships with those you interview.
Chapters take you through the cycle of steps to developing your interviewing skills:
- Investigative Interviewing and Core Skills
- Planning and Preparation
- Rapport Building
- Active Listening
- Productive Questioning
- Structured Investigative Interviewing
- Challenging and Difficult Interview Contexts
- Appendix A: Navigating Virtual Interviews
- Appendix B: Tandem Interviewing
In addition to this practical advice, the authors provide several tools that will help you implement the techniques presented. Several checklists guide you in advance planning for your interviews. (Buyers of the book will receive a link to download a free PDF packet of these checklists for reuse.) "Bungle" boxes present examples of how interviews can go in unpredictable directions, helping you mentally prepare to be flexible and to learn from these situations. And the tip lists dive more deeply into important aspects of many interviews.
The goal of Foundations of Investigative Interviewing is straightforward: to help you develop the practical skills to conduct effective investigative interviews with competence and care.
