ABSTRACT
This book is intended as a resource for professional interpreters as well as members of law enforcement agencies and other professionals who may need to conduct investigative interviews in bilingual settings. In order to understand the nature of interpreting within the police and broader legal context, it is necessary to see this in relation to what the interpreting profession is, how interpreting is done, and what skills are involved. This will help interpreter users to develop an appreciation of the level of complexity interpreting entails as well as the areas to pay attention to when assessing interpreting quality.
