Inhaltsangabe

Throughout history, being able to tell when someone is lying has been the holy grail of investigators and inquisitors alike. Yet, neither the swearing of religious oaths with the threat of eternal damnation nor the application of fire, boiling water, and other such torments comes close to working. While such barbaric techniques are, thankfully, very much a thing of the past, establishing truth in investigations and interviews remains as essential today as ever, with the help of much more subtle and less painful methods.Behavioural psychology has revealed the tell-tale signs of deception and, when coupled with a structured and less stressful mind-view technique, can highlight when someone is likely to be deceiving us. The book Tell Me More, by Psychologist and Investigator David Jefferies, brings together the world of statement analysis, microexpressions, body language, and advanced interviewing in one clear and easily understood volume. The book, aimed at those without in-depth knowledge of psychology, opens the world of deception detection and demonstrates how such skills are invaluable in many disciplines and professions. Tell Me More is a fascinating, informative, and ultimately essential addition to anyone interested in deception detection. Whether you interview as part of your role, seek to improve your skills with staff, customers or clients, or would like to work out the solution to a crime drama before your friends and family, this book is for you.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

David Jefferies has been involved in crime for longer than he cares to think about. He has worked in investigations with the United Kingdom Government, across several departments, and the private sector. Serving as a Justice of the Peace for many years has also given him a close-up view of the criminal justice system. He was introduced to deception detection many years ago while undertaking an MA in Fraud Management, starting with Scientific Content Analysis and then branching into behavioural psychology and microexpressions. Having completed training in deception detection with renowned experts in their fields and former FBI operatives, he brings his knowledge of the subjects together in a new way to bring deception detection out of the criminal investigation world and make it accessible in many other walks of life. In addition to his academic qualifications, David is a member of the British Psychological Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. He is also secretary of the Commonwealth Association of Science, Technology and Mathematics Educators (CASTME). When not working on deception detection, he likes to play keyboards and volunteer with a heritage steam railway in his adopted home county of Norfolk.
