I have given one version or another of this lecture since sometime in the mid 1990’s.  I have polished it quite a bit, and I have learned a lot since those early days.  Here I give a version of one of my lectures focusing on verbal interviews.  Criminals will use a variety of means to select victims, these can generally be classified as physical interviews- based more on body language- or verbal interviews, based on interactions that can be more subtle.  Either way can be very subtle or very direct, here we discuss some of these with a focus on the verbal interview.
