Everybody lies. Lying is part of our every-day lives and it’s
not all bad. In some situations, little white lies can even
be considered helpful. For example, when a partner asks,
‘Do these jeans make me look fat?’ But other lies are told
with the intent to harm or deceive, and recognising these
lies is a crucial skill we can all use.
Lie Catcher, is international expert Dr David Craig’s
easy-to-read guide that demonstrates through practical
examples how to apply ‘lie detecting’ skills in your
day-to-day life. From the simple skills of bargaining,
making a purchase, or dealing with children through
to the more serious business of negotiating a contract
or identifying infidelity, he delivers simple but effective
tips and techniques we can all use to see behind the
facade and get to the truth.
Written with the average person in mind, the book is
delivered in an easy to understand format, allowing busy
people to read it quickly and intermittently without losing
track of concepts. Aimed at a broad target audience, the
book steers well clear of academic writing and delivers its
information using humour and simple and easy to absorb
language, while maintaining its academic credibility.
Readers will pick up the techniques easily and enjoy
practising their new-found skills immediately.
Lie Catcher is the culmination of over twenty years of
practical criminology and hundreds of hours of academic
research. Dr David Craig is an international expert in
undercover operations who has used these techniques
extensively. He gained his doctorate in law by completing
international research of undercover programs in the
United States (FBI, DEA, US Customs), Canada (RCMP),
the United Kingdom (Scotland Yard, National and Scottish
Crime Squad) and the Netherlands (Politie).
Lie Catcher is an easy-to-read, light hearted and
academically credentialled guide on how to detect lies. It
promises to hold broad appeal as a practical and useful
tool to support law enforcement, education, parents,
relationships, workplace interviews and business
negotiation.
