Give samples of Lying Techniques.
What will be an ideal response?
Liars often lie by using specifics. For example, the suspect may say, “I don’t even own a gun!” Although this could be a true statement at face value, he or she might have borrowed a gun to commit the crime but is relying on the fact that the statement is a true one, and the investigator will, it is hoped, infer that the suspect didn’t commit the crime.
Other lying techniques:
? The suspect tries to confuse the interviewer by arguing about trivial points rather than addressing the real issues.
? A debating tactic is used in which the suspect tries to dis- count the investigator’s argument in advance.
? The “you don’t understand” tactic is used by experienced liars to block an in-depth interrogation.
? The “loophole” liar is a dodger who is unsure just how much the investigator knows about the crime.
