Body Language & Criminal Interrogations
I've always been fascinated by the idea of body language. So many times you know someone is not telling the trugh and you just know it, but cannot say why you know. I've read a few books about body language, but they were very generaland not really helpful. Recently I found Joe Navarro's book, "What Every Body is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People", it is detailed, easy to follow and very useful.
At the same timewatching crime show interrogations are also fascinating. The techniques investigators use to get confessions are sometimes so amazing, but so succesful. No beatings or phyiscal torture is involved either.
This is a narrated interview with a Canadian serial killer/rapiest that is really good:

The Interrogation of Stephanie Lazarus
Quote:In 1986, LAPD cop, Stephanie Lazarus, shot her love rival to death. She got away with it for 25 years. But in 2009, new DNA testing from her own police department linked her to the murder. And the very moment she finds all this out was caught on video.
