Multilingual Communications Surveillance in Criminal Law

‘This interdisciplinary work on multilingual communication surveillance bridges Law, Criminology, and Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS), reaching beyond academia to engage key stakeholders, including police officers, magistrates, and intercept interpreters and translators (IIT). Drawing on rich empirical data and providing extensive further reading, this volume is an invaluable resource for both practitioners and scholars who recognize the critical link between language and legal evidence.’
‘This insightful volume reveals the immense complexity of the taken-for-granted task of transcribing and translating forensic audio. Paying tribute to the skill of practitioners, it also highlights the troubling invisibility of their work. It should be a catalyst spurring increased accountability to this powerful form of evidence.’ – Helen Fraser, University of Melbourne, Australia
‘This long-due and valuable resource book will be a must on the book shelves of readers interested in multilingual communications surveillance and intercept interpreting, including interpreters, interpreter educators, and legal professionals. Its broad scope allows for a comprehensive insight into key facets of this cutting-edge topic.’ – Sonja Pöllabauer, University of Vienna, Austria
