'This work provides an in-depth analysis of police interrogations over time and proposes a new innovative methodology for their analysis. Undoubtedly, a great contribution to the judicial world.' Sheila Queralt, Forensic Linguist, Director at Laboratorio SQ-Lingüistas Forenses
'This book is an excellent analysis of Miranda v. Arizona, the laws developed in response to Miranda, and police application of Miranda in interrogation/interview practices. The corpus of federal cases that the author creates captures the depth and breadth of the issue, and the analysis is both sharp edged and crystal clear. It is written in an accessible style with many examples and careful explanations that make it excellent for classroom applications. The implications of this research will have major social ramifications as police reform continues to develop and unfold.' Jennifer Andrus, Professor, Department of Writing and Rhetoric Studies at the University of Utah
'This book is essential for sociolinguists, linguistic anthropologists, and other scholars exploring mixed-method approaches to understanding legal discourses and power dynamics, among many other issues prevalent in institutional settings. It also offers valuable insights to law enforcement and legal defense practitioners interested in reforming interrogations.' Peter Joseph Torres, Language in Society
