| Summary: | "There is a widespread belief that most serious crimes are solved by "hard" evidence like DNA analysis and CCTV recordings. More often than not, however, law-enforcement agencies (and alike) obtain the most crucial information for the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of crime from human sources through oral statements. Information obtained orally will remain paramount even as new investigative technology develops, but comes with some unique challenges. The perhaps most critical challenge is to decide whether the statement collected is truthful or deceptive - and this is exactly the challenge that the proposed volume will address. There has been systematic research on verbal lie detection (VLD) for seventy years, but the development has exploded during the past twenty years"-- Provided by publisher. |
