Description

Interviewing of Suspects with Mental Health Conditions and Disorders in England and Wales explores cutting-edge research that focuses specifically on these adults (including their cognitive needs and psychological vulnerabilities), the impact on the investigative interview, and existing legislation, guidance and practice. The book opens with a historical overview of the move from interrogation to investigative interviewing, including the impact of well-known miscarriages of justice and the inquiry that led to the development of current best practice interviewing. Further chapters focus on the concept of vulnerability within current theoretical frameworks, with a particular emphasis on mental health conditions and disorders, including how they are constructed, understood, and identified within legislation and by those working at the forefront of the criminal justice system. The book also examines current safeguards available to the suspect with mental health conditions and disorders, such as the Appropriate Adult; contemporary research explores their involvement with vulnerable suspects and whether it is sufficient, as well as how the Appropriate Adult understands and experiences their role. Final chapters scrutinise current best practice investigative interviewing of suspects with mental health conditions and disorders, and a paradigm shift towards an emerging evidence-based interview model that considers the vulnerabilities associated with suspects with mental health conditions and disorders in the investigative interview. Examining current psychological theory, contemporary research and existing legislation and guidance including authorised professional practice, this book will be of interest to those working within the criminal justice system, as well as policing and forensic psychology students. In particular, it is essential reading for all serving and trainee police officers, those delivering investigative interviewing training, and interviewing personnel, such as Appropriate Adults.

Author Biography:

Laura Farrugia is a Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader in Forensic Psychology at the University of Sunderland and also works as a Registered Intermediary (accredited by the Ministry of Justice), assisting with vulnerable victims/witnesses at the police interview and trial stage. Her research looks at how individuals with mental health conditions and disorders are perceived within the Criminal Justice System and the role of Appropriate Adult during interviews with vulnerable suspects, as well as false confessions and miscarriages of justice. Her work focuses strongly on the investigative interviewing of vulnerable individuals. In addition, she examines the way that police officers evaluate their own interviews. Dr Farrugia is one of the founding members of the Forensic Interview Trace.
