Rezensionen

"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

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.--Elizabeth F. Loftus, Ph.D,
Distinguished Professor, University of California-Irvine

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.--Dr Ronald P. Fisher, Florida
International University

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.--Colonel Steven M. Kleinman,
U.S. Air Force (Retired), Career human intelligence
officer
