This is a bespoke informant interview model that can be remembered by the axiom: \u003ci\u003eKeeping our wits about us\u003c\/i\u003e. The current book examines the development of this model, bringing a clear focus on the specific definition of an informant and how this definition differentiates informants from other individuals who are likely to be interviewed by police - such as victims, witnesses, or suspects. A variety of relational and organisational objectives are identified and explored with the R-WITS-US model proposed as an ethical interview model capable of addressing these interconnected objectives. The aims of each individual phase are carefully explained, and practical examples of psychological techniques that can be used are provided throughout. The book concludes with a detailed example of the R-WITS-US model, highlighting how it could be employed in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides invaluable evidence-based guidance to practitioners, making it essential reading for police professionals who are required to understand and interview informants. It will also be useful secondary reading for professional policing students engaged in police practice, criminal investigation, and investigative interviewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLee Moffett \u003c\/strong\u003ehas over 25 years of law enforcement experience as well as an MSc and PhD in investigative psychology.
