{"product_id":"detecting-lies-in-legal-proceedings","title":"Detecting Lies in Legal Proceedings","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeople lie in legal proceedings, and in every scenario the common denominator is the same - it's the lawyer who everyone expects to know how to separate truth from lies, fiction from fact. 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 \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetecting \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","brand":"Irwin Law","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50013154115834,"sku":"9781049800110","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_34e98ee5-afb5-4d0d-9881-8e87c30fbedb.jpg?v=1786133643","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/detecting-lies-in-legal-proceedings","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
