Recenzje

"All practitioners, researchers, and consumers could benefit from reading this book.  It is an excellent reference for most all items covered. As alternative technologies develop and improve, it behooves us to stay abreast and open–minded... I highly recommend this book to all examiners interested in improving their knowledge on cognitive approaches to interviewing, ethical interrogative strategies and avoiding false confessions."

Detecting Deception presents state–of–the–art coverage of the science and practice of evaluating truthfulness and uncovering deceit, featuring contributions from leading international experts in the burgeoning forensic subfield of deception detection.Following coverage of several basic approaches to contemporary deception detection including the polygraph, text analysis, and verbal and non–verbal techniques chapters identify a series of current challenges in the field, such as counter–interrogation strategies, discriminating between true and false intentions, how to unmask lying networks, and cross–cultural deception. Subsequent chapters reveal a host of new approaches based on cognitive psychology with the potential to improve practice in the field, including the strategic use of evidence, imposing cognitive load, response times, and covert lie detection.

With comprehensive coverage of the latest scientific developments and research breakthroughs, and their implications for real–world practice, Detecting Deception offers a definitive guide to contemporary theory and practice in deception detection.
