Recensione

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
