Allegations of non-recent sexual assault: psychological, investigative and legal challenges – Dr James Ost

Taking effective practice in reducing re-offending to scale: what have we learned? – Dr Dominic Pearson –

Cognitive credibility assessment: a new method to distinguish truth tellers from liars – Professor Aldert Vrij
Detecting deception in interviews is a difficult task and people’s performance is similar to that which can be expected by just tossing a coin. However, psychological research has demonstrated that people can improve their ability to detect lies when they ask specific questions during interviews.
