"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 DetectingDeception will make you think again. This thorough andaccomplished collection of chapters by leading experts in the fieldbrings together the science of "truthfulness", andtells us what it means for psychologists, law enforcement, and allwho care about justice.--Elizabeth F. Loftus, Ph.D,Distinguished Professor, University of California-Irvine Granhag, Vrij, and Verschuere do the research and practitionercommunities a great service by providing a multi-faceted, current(and into the future) account of cognitive and social approaches todetecting deception. The book's strength lies in itsworld-recognized contributors, balanced presentation of supportedand unsupported ideas, theoretical and applied perspectives, and abroad spectrum of approaches.--Dr Ronald P. Fisher, FloridaInternational University Fundamental to the objectives of both investigativeinterviewing in the law-enforcement domain and interrogationsconducted to support intelligence needs is the requirement toobjectively assess the credibility of the individual underquestioning. For far too long, practitioners have rendered suchconclusions based wholly on intuitive judgments often shaped bybias, unchallenged assumptions, and misinformed supposition. Inthis vital work, an exceptionally impressive array of scholars andresearchers offers a rational path toward a more definitive andevidence-based approach to gauging veracity. Rather than purelytheoretical abstractions, the authors present practitioners with acomprehensive framework of strategies, methods, and metrics thatlends itself to immediate application in the real-world. In nosmall measure, this book takes a monumental step toward chippingaway at the myth of interrogation as purely an art and replacing itwith the promise of interrogation as a systematic, science-basedprocess for eliciting meaningful information in support of justiceand enlightened public policy.--Colonel Steven M. Kleinman,U.S. Air Force (Retired), Career human intelligenceofficer
