Detecting Concealed Information and Deception

Detecting Concealed Information and Deception: Recent Developments assembles contributions from the world’s leading experts on all aspects of concealed information detection. This reference examines an array of different methods—behavioral, verbal interview and physiological—of detecting concealed information. Chapters from leading legal authorities address how to make use of detected information for present and future legal purposes. With a theoretical and empirical foundation, the book also covers new human interviewing techniques, including the highly influential Implicit Association Test among others.

• Presents research from Concealed Information Test (CIT) studies
• Explores the legal implications and admissibility of the CIT
• Covers EEG, event-related brain potentials (ERP) and autonomic detection measures
• Reviews multiple verbal lie detection tools
• Discusses ocular movements during deception and evasion
• Identifies how to perceive malicious intentions
• Explores personality dimensions associated with deception, including religion, age and gender
