Book Reviews of Investigative Discourse Analysis
Book Review: Excellent in depth teaching
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have read Mark McClish's "I Know You Are Lying" and are excited about the next step, this volume is it.
Deeper, with more emphasis upon grammar, it is not for the superficial study, but for those who wish to truly understand Statement Analysis and grow in their understanding of how humans edit, deceive, withhold, and ultimately lie rather than disclose truth.
Who is best served by this book? All too much emphasis for Statement Analysis is placed upon law enforcement. Jr and Sr. High school principals, Human Resources who have the responsibility of hiring, social workers, therapists, Judges, individuals who are involved with politics (yes, truly!), anyone buying a used car (!), and so many other professions where truth is needed.
This is a book for those who have a good quality understanding of English grammar. Without it, the reader will be frustrated. The author "dumbs down" nothing for us, and seems to write in such a way as to expect excellence from the reader. Short quizzes are given and this book, unlike TV shows, reveals that there is no "magic bullet" or "instant face recognition of a liar", or other methods that are fun to watch, but terribly unrealistic. Although studying face microexpressions is of great value, it is another tool in an toolbox of valuable understandings that work together for the careful and diligent student of truth.
Perhaps the best "lie detector" comes from the individual who studies all avenues (vocal/written statements/face expressions/body language) and practices regularly.
Each time a press release from:
a. politician
b. sports figure
c. demagogue
d. celebrity
e. news figure
comes forth, it is time to practice. In today's society, there is no shortage of practice available to the diligent student who wishes to increase his skill, or for the seasoned vet who knows the value of maintaining his high level of detection.
You may thank our politicians and "reality" TV shows for that.
***** star book. A must for today's lie detectors.
Summary of Investigative Discourse Analysis
Too often investigators from all areas and fields consider written statements, transcripts of interviews and interrogations, and letters as mere pieces of paper to be filed. They are only useful at face value -- as simple records, sworn statements, archives. In Investigative Discourse Analysis, Don Rabon demonstrates that these files can be put to work. These files can mean much more if the investigator uses proven techniques to move beyond the archive.These files are analogous to a crime scene. To the uninitiated, the crime scene might look just like an ordinary room. To the trained eye, however, there can be evidence for follow-up everywhere. This book introduces techniques for discourse analysis in which a statement can be examined for more information than that available to the untrained eye.
These techniques lead the investigator to the sensitive areas of the statement or transcript where there might be deception. Armed with indications of the intent to falsify or conceal, the investigator can then focus the investigation on the heart of the deception. Follow-up questions and further investigation can be planned and executed.
