Samenvatting

The polygraph, or lie detector, was created and refined by academics in university settings with support from a few early police agencies. This work is a history of the polygraph - from the experimental work of the late 1800s that led directly to its creation - until the present.



The polygraph, most commonly known as the lie detector, was created and refined by academics in university settings with support from a few early police agencies. This work is a history of the polygraph, from the experimental work of the late 1800s that led directly to its creation, until the present. It covers early lie detectors and their inventors from the 1860s to the early 1920s, their use by the police and other law enforcement agencies in the 1930s and their use in Cold War America in the 1940s and 1950s. It then discusses the government's use of the polygraph in the 1960s, the PSE, a new take on the old polygraph, and private business' reliance on the polygraph in the 1970s and the government's increasing reluctance to use the polygraph in the 1980s. It ends with a chapter on new ideas and uses for the polygraph that have surfaced over the last decade.
