    Wide Focus: How to catch a liar: the psychology behind detecting deception<\/h4>\n
    \n

    It would be of huge benefit to the criminal justice system if there were ways in which we could reliably detect deception. Many people think they can spot whether someone is lying. In principle, the police, as experts in law enforcement, should surely be better at detecting deception than most? For many years now psychologists have researched this area and have tried to determine if there are ways to reliably discern liars from truth-tellers. This documentary aims to \u2018unpack\u2019 the myths regarding detecting deception, and to introduce the audience to some of the real psychological evidence as well as evaluating the contribution psychology has made. The programme is one of a series which aims to look at the contribution of psychology to understanding the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The Wide Focus team have had an initial brainstorming meeting and have decided they want a programme called \u2018How to catch a Liar: The psychology behind detecting deception\u2019 and have divided the programme into three sections, each of which will have a slightly different focus. They have presented the three sections of the programme to you with provisional section titles, as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What are the key beliefs people hold about how to catch liars?<\/li>\n
    2. What do psychologists say about our abilities in detecting deception? How have they researched the topic?<\/li>\n
    3. How useful has the contribution of psychology been to the field?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
