Fred E. Inbau

Fred Edward Inbau was an American lawyer and criminologist who lived from 1909 to 1998 and taught law for 32 years, mostly at Northwestern University after earning his law degree at Tulane. He directed Chicago's Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, served as president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and founded the advocacy group Americans for Effective Law Enforcement. Inbau is best known for helping develop the Reid technique of criminal interrogation and for coauthoring the widely used textbook Criminal Interrogations and Confessions, which shaped how generations of American police were trained to question suspects.
