Investigative Statement Analysis (1 day)

Investigative Statement Analysis is a method for detecting likely deceptions and omissions in language. Students will learn enhanced strategies for criminal, administrative, background, or human resources investigations, and will analyze a variety of written and spoken statements from suspect interviews, 911 calls, and ransom letters.
