Biography
Stan B. Walters
“... an elegant and comprehensive contribution to the field of interviewing. Within the span of 360 well-indexed pages, [the author] brings together the latest ideas and techniques on interviewing. Clearly, the author understands the theater of the interview. … Readers … will enjoy the refreshing sojourn through the complex dynamics of interviewing. … Walters, a true student of human behavior who possesses practical experience in interviewing, has produced a work that approximates the ideal of what an interview book should be about. … Readers of this book will learn much from this great teacher.”
— FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin
“The ability to recognize deception is extremely important in my field, and there are many manuals of instructions on the subject. Mr. Walters’, however, gives the reader/researcher the keys to EXTRACTING the verbal and non-verbal reactions the body has when stressed. It also covers what happens to the body and speech when a person is ready to confess. … Since my introduction to Mr. Walters’ book, my confession rate has sky rocketed! I obtain solid witness statements and when conducting internal investigations, officers come right out and ‘fess up’ rather than be interrogated. All my awards over the last three years including the 1998 Officer of the Year for my agency, I owe to this book.”
— Jim Miles, Police Investigator, Columbia, South Carolina on Amazon.com
“Without any hesitation, I would like to say this book is the best I have seen.”
— Jong Ryul Kim, Senior Prosecutor, Republic of South Korea
“…I find it compelling to the point that I have trouble with the concept that any officer or investigator could function properly without this type of information. I find the book to be straightforward, direct, and the text content does a good job of verifying the subject matter to an empirical level of understanding. The pictures also bring to life the point being made…Great reading. It will be a necessary tool in every investigators kit.”
— Harold Jones, 24-Year Ohio Police Officer and High Tech Crime Investigator
“The use of clear and relevant photo examples coupled with the concrete descriptions of nonverbal behaviors and their underlying meanings, gives the reader a great deal of insight into the process of deciphering truth from deception.”
— Crime and Justice International
