An Ethics of Interrogation (9780226761619): Michael Skerker: Books. “This book offers an interdisciplinary study of the role of interrogation and its use by the state. Michael Skerker’s approach allows the reader to view the conduct of domestic and foreign affairs through the prism of moral and political philosophy, jurisprudence, and just war theory. The result is an excellent approach to this multifaceted issue that provides insight without polemic.”—Jan Goldman, founding editor, International Journal of Intelligence Ethics (Jan Goldman )“No other book can be said to do what this one does, that is, provide a philosophy of interrogation that relies on a right to silence limited by the right to a relatively just legal order. An Ethics of Interrogation is sure to start an interesting discussion among philosophers, lawyers, and scholars of criminal justice.”—Michael Davis, Illinois Institute of Technology (Michael Davis ) “In this study of the moral issues surrounding interrogation practices, Skerker debates under what circumstances the state is entitled to know a person’s thoughts and how information can be obtained in a morally correct manner.”—Survival (Survival )“This book explores ideas of autonomy, rights (e.g., to privacy), coercion, the liberal state, and police powers. Of special interest is Skerker''s discussion of both just-war theory and the requirements of constitutional/international legal rights concerning prisoners of war and other martial detainees, such as unlawful combatants, i.e., terrorists or non-state actors or guerillas and insurgents. Additionally, Skerker makes certain policy recommendations useful for interrogators. His target audiences are law enforcement professionals, the military, and intelligence agencies; however, other intelligent readers would benefit greatly.”—Choice (Choice )
