The Use of Physiological Measures to Detect Deception in Juveniles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examined the effectiveness of a directed lie polygraph test in a juvenile population (9-15 years of age). Eighty-four juveniles were tested regarding their possible involvement in the tearing of a page from a book. A computer model for classifying adults as truthful or deceptive used physiological measures to determine the participant’s involvement in the “crime.” The adult-based model accurately identified 72.6% of the juveniles and was more accurate at identifying innocent than guilty participants. A separate classification model, derived from the juvenile data, correctly classified 73.8% of the juveniles. Although the accuracy rates were not as large as those reported for adults, there was a significant difference in the patterns of physiological responses for guilty and innocent juveniles. The modest accuracy rates with juveniles in the present study are discussed in relation to limitations in the design and the potential impact of the observed low reliability of the juveniles’ physiological responses. Future directions in assessing the validity of the polygraph to detect deception in juveniles and the impact of cognitive developmental changes on detectability are discussed.

FACT FROM FICTION IN SUSPECT IDENTITIES. Here, we focus on uncovering patterns of criminal identity deception based on actual criminal records and suggest an algorithmic approach to revealing deceptive identities. Interpersonal deception is defined as a sender knowingly transmitting messages intended to foster a false belief or conclusion by the receiver [1]. Methods have been developed to dete...

Lie or deception analysis is a significant challenge for investigators especially in crime cases. Identifying liar from normal human behaviour has higher relevance with external behaviour and cognitive functionality of human brain. Methods such as polygraph, cognitive polygraph, facial electromyography, eye tracking, voice stress analysis and functional magnetic resonance imaging have been alre...

The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...
