Forensic linguistics, or the study of language and the law, is a
growing field of scholarly and public interest. Yet books on the
subject have predominantly been introductions to the field or aimed
at summarizing its applications, often with a focus on a single
aspect of the legal system. The Discourse of Police Interviews aims
to further the discussion by focusing exclusively on how police
interviews are constructed and used to investigate and prosecute
crimes. The first book to focus exclusively on police interview
dialogue, The Discourse of Police Interviews examines leading
debates, approaches, and topics in contemporary police interview
research. Among other topics, the book explores the sociolegal,
psychological, and discursive framework of popular police interview
techniques employed in the United States and the United Kingdom,
such as PEACE and Reid, and the discursive practices of
institutional representatives like police officers and interpreters
that can influence the construction and quality of linguistic
evidence. Together, the contributions situate the police interview
as part of a complex, and multistage, criminal justice process.
Despite the role of discourse in potentially shaping legal
outcomes, the use of linguistic analysis to understand the legal
process is yet to be fully and uniformly embraced, and the book
will be of interest to both scholars and practitioners in a variety
of fields, such as linguistic anthropology, interpreting studies,
criminology, law, and sociology.
