"Legal Interpreting and Questioning Techniques Explained," authored by Mira Kadrić, Monika Stempkowski, and Ivana Havelka, was published on May 31, 2024, offering a comprehensive examination of the intersection between legal, criminalistic, translational, and psychological aspects of communication in interpreted questioning contexts such as hearings, interrogations, and interviews. This pioneering work presents the first-ever transdisciplinary approach to questioning and interpreting, integrating insights from law, criminology, interpreting studies, psychology, and technology to provide a holistic understanding of the complex dynamics involved in these critical interactions.
The authors ground their analysis in empirical studies and practical experience, offering a thorough exploration of questioning methods and strategies, as well as an evaluation of the institutional framework conditions of a questioning situation in a transdisciplinary cooperation context.
A key focus of the book is the growing use of technology and hybrid forms of translation and interpreting in the legal system, which sets it apart in the field.
