• New content examines controversial issues such as use of deadly force by police, coercive interrogation techniques, assessing risk of terrorism and hate crime laws.

• Chapter 7, "Evaluating Criminal Suspects," presents detailed information on criminal profiling, including career paths of profilers. Significant updates include new material on cognitive methods of detecting deception, based on the premise that lying is more mentally taxing than telling the truth. The chapter also features new questioning methods to detect deceit.

• The authors present an updated review of the literature in straightforward and readable language.

• Learning objectives ("orienting questions") at the beginning of each chapter guide students' reading. End-of-chapter summaries address the questions and reinforce concepts.
