This subject examines interviewing as an investigative tool. The subject looks back at a number of miscarriages of justice which have served to shape contemporary interviewing models in use today. With a focus on memory and the factors that affect the reliability of evidence gained from vulnerable witnesses and other interviewees, the subject looks at the investigative interviewing core skills required to secure quality accounts from interviewees in an ethical and professional manner. Practically, the subject explores the 'PEACE' model framework of investigative interviewing and looks at how the 'Free Recall' and 'Conversation Management' styles of interviewing can be used in interviews with witnesses, victims and suspects. Finally, the subject looks closely at how interviews with persons of interest can be enhanced through tactical planning and the strategic use of evidence.
