Experienced investigators know that proper planning is vital to the success of any interview. However, there have been a number of advances in the study of the interview process that have focused on detecting deception through the analysis of answers and observation of body behaviour. These advanced interview techniques provide a significant advantage to investigators during the interview of witnesses or suspects.
