"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." Mark Handler, American Polygraph Association Magazine, 2015

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

<p>You may think you can tell if someone is lying, but Detecting Deception will make you think again.   This thorough and accomplished collection of chapters by leading experts in the field brings together the science of “truthfulness”, and tells us what it means for psychologists, law enforcement, and all who care about justice.—<b>Elizabeth F. Loftus, Ph.D, Distinguished Professor, University of California-Irvine</b></p> <p>Granhag, Vrij, and Verschuere do the research and practitioner communities a great service by providing a multi-faceted, current (and into the future) account of cognitive and social approaches to detecting deception. The book's strength lies in its world-recognized contributors, balanced presentation of supported and unsupported ideas, theoretical and applied perspectives, and a broad spectrum of approaches.—<b>Dr Ronald P. Fisher, Florida International University</b></p> <p>Fundamental to the objectives of both investigative interviewing in the law-enforcement domain and interrogations conducted to support intelligence needs is the requirement to objectively assess the credibility of the individual under questioning. For far too long, practitioners have rendered such conclusions based wholly on intuitive judgments often shaped by bias, unchallenged assumptions, and misinformed supposition. In this vital work, an exceptionally impressive array of scholars and researchers offers a rational path toward a more definitive and evidence-based approach to gauging veracity. Rather than purely theoretical abstractions, the authors present practitioners with a comprehensive framework of strategies, methods, and metrics that lends itself to immediate application in the real-world. In no small measure, this book takes a monumental step toward chipping away at the myth of interrogation as purely an art and replacing it with the promise of interrogation as a systematic, science-based process for eliciting meaningful information in support of justice and enlightened public policy.—<b>Colonel Steven M. Kleinman, U.S. Air Force (Retired)</b><b>, Career human intelligence officer</b></p>
