This book provides a comprehensive overview of deception detection research, including verbal, non-verbal, and contextual approaches. Vrij critically examines common misconceptions about lie detection and reviews empirical evidence showing that both laypersons and professionals perform only slightly above chance. The book discusses CBCA and SVA as structured verbal methods, emphasizing their limitations, contextual sensitivity, and vulnerability to bias. It is widely regarded as a core reference in forensic psychology and legal evidence evaluation.
