Lie detection and profiling
Polygraph, profiling, behavioural analysis, interviewing, the psychology of the fraudster, manipulation and social engineering.
Fraudsters use psychological rather than technical mechanisms: fear, authority, urgency, guilt, care for loved ones, the promise of profit. Until a person understands the mechanism of pressure, knowing the technical signs barely helps.
The desk explains the method and its limits honestly: where behavioural analysis works, where it fails and why the profession needs standards.
