Abstract
The intention of this project was to determine if popular deception detection and interview techniques that have been successfully marketed to police agencies were worthy of the title Forensic Interview Technique. The basis of the research was to determine if there was sufficient scientific research to support the use of these techniques. A comparative analysis was conducted utilizing existing research to determine if there is adequate research to determine the validity of certain techniques and if one is superior to the rest. With many social, ethical, and financial changes in society the identification of truthful or fraudulent techniques can be critical to our societal perception of justice.
