PART 2 - Why Follow the Rules – Exploring Interview Rules

Description: Interview rules are a research based best practice for investigative interviews. Our society has many sets of rules, and we don’t always follow them. This webinar will explore the research behind interview rules and how following the rules can benefit the interviewee and the interviewer. Participants will learn about the most common interview rules and be provided with strategies for effective implementation of the interview rules.
