The book offers police, and non-law enforcement readers, step-by-step techniques to improve gathering reliable evidence through a mindful interview process. The author also provides an assessment component that can measure the reliability of previous interviews performed, and further help to improve the interview process, the skills of the investigator, and thus the reliability of cognitive evidence gathered from future interviews.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is notable that there is minimal to no instruction or training currently offered to those individuals most-often tasked with interviewing an eyewitness about a crime as part of criminal investigations. Despite the lack of training and certification, we allow interviewers to conduct questioning in the face of well-established research as to the malleability of human memory. The assumption is that officials, trained in the rules of evidence, will innately ask the right questionsâand in the proper mannerâwithout the proper understanding of the fragility of human memory \u003ci\u003eor\u003c\/i\u003e the proper training. That assumption is false, and the reality is quite the opposite. In fact, we learn of cases commonplace in the media, that frequently involve questionable interview tactics, misidentifications, and wrongful convictions of innocent people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mindful Interview Method\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003euses cognitive research to inform the methods and principles for a mindful approach to gathering only the information the subject remembers. This is the best way to use evidence-based lines of questioning, to perform interviews that elicit the most reliable accounts and information for investigative purposes. Considering current reforms on best practices throughout the criminal justice system, the book provides a path forward for professional interviewers to adopt interview methodologies that guide the practitioner to question \u003ci\u003eanyone\u003c\/i\u003e in a mindful manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Perspectives\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.
