He was 29 years old, fit, and had a clean background record. Talbot had military experience, including a tour of Iraq as a US Marine, and his commanding officer had written him a glowing recommendation. In 2014, armed with an associate degree in criminal justice, he felt ready to apply to become an officer with the New Haven Police Department, in his home state of Connecticut. Talbot sailed through the department's rigorous physical and mental tests, passing speed and agility trials and a written examination—but there was one final test. Like thousands of other law enforcement, fire, paramedic, and federal agencies across the country, the New Haven Police Department insists that each applicant take an assessment...

Larry Farwell Claims His Lie Detector System Can Read Your Mind. Is He a Scam Artist, or a Genius? - OneZero Larry Farwell Claims His Lie Detector System Can Read Your Mind. Is He a Scam Artist, or a Genius? - OneZero Posted: 06 Jan 2021 12:13 AM PST A round the same time that Farwell published his study, the CIA was actively soliciting new lie-detection technology proposals. Farwell was unsure of his chances of landing a CIA contract: He had no lab, no computer, and no office. He hadn't even finished his PhD. But he applied anyway, and soon secured a roughly $1 million contract with the agency, OneZero confirmed, to conduct a series of experimental studies. The CIA funding caught the attention of the national media, and outlets filed glowing stories about Farwell's "revolutionary device," as one CBS correspondent put it. One of his studies focused, in part, on identifying the perpetrators of real-life felony crimes. Anoth...

He was looking forward, he said, to a major step toward life returning to normal. So he admitted it was frustrating when he learned, without warning, that his appointment had been pushed back to March.

A 44-year-old social worker focused on community mental health, Farrell must go out and visit patients in their homes, a risky undertaking during a pandemic. Social workers are renowned for their patience and understanding, and Farrell c...

Polygraph lie detector tests: can they really stop criminals reoffending? - The Conversation UK Polygraph lie detector tests: can they really stop criminals reoffending? - The Conversation UK Posted: 24 Jan 2020 12:00 AM PST The UK government recently announced it was planning to increase the use of polygraphs to monitor offenders on probation, specifically those convicted of terrorist offences. This is one of several new measures to prevent a repeat of the recent London Bridge attack , which was committed by an offender out in the community on license.

The government hopes that an increased use of polygraphs will help identify terrorists planning to reoffend. But are polygraphs actually able to do this? Polygraphs are already in use in the...

They can quickly lose a security firm's contracts by doing something dishonest....
