5.0 out of 5 stars Damn Good Book., January 18, 2002

This review is from: Identifying Lies in Disguise (Paperback)

Its just want it says it is, a book that tells you what people do when they lie so you can know you are being lied to. And how to deal with the situations in which lies happen. It is however a manual most likely intended for police and other investigators. It should be manditory reading for people with jobs like that. But, for normal people INSTEAD OF CALLING A TALK SHOW SO YOU CAN GIVE YOUR KIDS OR SPOUSE A LIE DETECTOR TEST, try this book.

This review is from: Identifying Lies in Disguise (Paperback)

For most people, it is easier to lie, not by telling direct, confrontive, empathetic "whoppers", but by diluting, rerouting, and rearranging bits and pieces of language into forms of verbal evasion that we rarely identify as lies.

During investigative witness or crime victim interviews, or interrogations, such as those with gang members, informants and related criminal offenders, many deceptive persons often lie to police and investigators merely by telling their brand of truth, but also inadvertently disclose admissions which ultimately link them to the crime or offense under investigation.

Once a police officer, criminal justice investigator, attorney, private investigator or industrial security interviewer knows the specific forms of a suspect's disguised lies, he has a powerful resource to use these "Lies in Disguise" admissions and confessions.

It is recommended to police Officers, private investigators, detectives and criminalists, military police and investigative specialists; correctional, probation and parole officers, insurance investigators, attorneys, judges, forensic investigators, district attorneys, prosecutors, and criminal justice students.

If you interview witnesses, victims, or interrogate suspects, criminal offenders, incarcerated inmates, shoplifters, or gang members this is the book for you.
