The problem? Most people – including lawyers – are notoriously poor lie detectors. The universal conclusion of decades of behavioural science research is that most of us are no better than a coin flip at spotting lies. But there is hope: studies say an ability to detect lies is not an immutable trait you have to be born with. It’s a skill, which means like any skill it can be learned, and if it can be learned, it can be mastered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDetecting\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLies\u003c\/i\u003e explores lie signs validated by behavioural science research and road tested by litigators, law enforcement, and poker professionals. David B. Simpson draws on over 40 years as a litigator to explain why someone averting their eyes is not a sign of lying, but why beginning an answer with \"truthfully\" can be, or why accusing a witness of lying doesn’t help, but asking, \"Are you an honest person?\" can. This book includes exercises to practice and improve lie-spotting skills, and advanced strategies to outfox liars into unwittingly exposing themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57366256484726,"sku":"9781487545505","price":43.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781487545505-detecting-lies-in-legal-proceedings","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
