Multilingual Communications Surveillance In Criminal Law highlights the vital yet overlooked roles of Intercept Interpreters and Translators (IITs) in criminal justice operations. Nadja Capus, Cornelia Griebel and Ivana Havelka conduct an interdisciplinary investigation, exploring IITs navigation of complex legal, linguistic and translational challenges. They advocate for improved practices to ensure quality, fairness and integrity in investigations within criminal proceedings when communication is monitored in multiple languages.

This book is the result of a collaboration between experts across criminal law, legal interpreting and technology-assisted translation. Through meticulous empirical and theoretical analysis, Capus, Griebel and Havelka examine IITs' indispensable function in evidence gathering and navigating surveillance obstacles. Employing diverse research methods, including reviewing legal documents, analyzing the translations of intercepted communications, conducting observations, surveys, and interviews, the authors thoroughly explore linguistic intricacies in the context of criminal proceedings.

Offering insights and practical recommendations to enrich professional practices and understanding, Multilingual Communications Surveillance In Criminal Law is essential for academics, students and practitioners of law and criminal justice, legal reform, interpreting and translation. Police officers tasked with communication surveillance will benefit from the authors’ practical advice and explanations of challenges of interpreting and translating.
