Interrogation achieving confessions using permissible persuasion - Yeschke, Charles L. (Charles C. Thomas, 2004)
"This book explores practical and legal tactics of interrogation by which to seek the truth and in particular confessions or admissions. Its goal is to provide the investigator with the skills to persuade the culpable to confess or reveal information that may be the equivalent of a full confession." "The reader will find that this book functions as a very practical guide to the successful development of effective police interrogation skills and techniques."--Jacket
