This book provides insights into the process of detecting suspects with intellectual disabilities (ID) during police interviews, and examines the impact of questioning techniques on suspects’ information disclosure. Suspects with ID are overrepresented in the criminal justice system, making it essential to safeguard their needs and rights while facilitating the disclosure of accurate and comprehensive information. Drawing from literature, expert and practitioner interviews, and analyses of Dutch police interviews, this book highlights the crucial role of interview training. Furthermore, it offers recommendations to enhance ID detection, improve information gathering, and safeguard suspects with ID. The practical implications benefi t both suspects with ID and broader investigative practices. This valuable resource for academics, police, law enforcement, and policymakers contributes to more effective and fair investigative procedures. Robin Kranendonk is a researcher at the Dutch Police Academy and the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement, specializing in investigative interviewing
