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. 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 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. Lie Catcher is the culmination of over twenty years of practical criminology and hundreds of hours of academic research. Dr David Craig has used these techniques extensively. He gained his doctorate in law by completing international research of undercover programs in the United States, Canada , the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Lie Catcher is an easy-to-read, light hearted and academically credentialed 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 activities.
