The goal of this article is to provide a class of MeToo# victims of a high-profile serial sexual harasser with a non-invasive method for civil action, when the accused publicly dismisses the victims’ claims as lies. When these libelous claims do occur, the victims can be assembled into a class-action libel/defamation case, which in most US states must be mounted within two years of the claim. Because under current civil methods, the plaintiffs would be subject to intense cross-examination in a civil jury trial, class-action lawsuits with small numbers of plaintiffs (e.g. 5–8) have proven impossible to conduct. This article provides a blueprint to create a collaboration amongst the victims, credibility-assessment (lie-detector) experts, statisticians, and MeToo# attorneys to litigate libel suits, which will likely produce out-of-court settlements. Once the first case is successfully completed, precedent will be set to bring other perpetrators to justice, and act as a deterrent to future exploitation. The evidentiary basis would be based on testing the null hypothesis that all plaintiffs are lying, to compare the inferred lying rates of the plaintiffs to similar population controls, who would be known liars, to a “Yes” answer to “Did X sexually harass you?”

The Inconclusive Zone, in one form or another, is an integral part of almost any data analysis method of CQT. It represents the existence of built-in uncertainties in the test and indicates how the test, in general, and the examiners, in particular, bear this limitation in practice. Unfortunately, it is so common that most examiners tend not to spend too much time and attention wondering about its meaning. The following are some reflections on the concept of an Inconclusive Zone, and its actual use, including some resulting recommendations. That includes internal aspects of the test, such as the relation between the extent of using multiple comparison points between relevant and comparison questions and the optimal Inconclusive Zone size. External aspects affecting the Inconclusive Zone’s size and shape are also stressed when looking at the CQT through a prism of aiding decision-making rather than a mere means to sort truth from lies.

The Polygraph test or the Psychophysiological Detection of Deception is a short blanket that cannot cover everything without paying in errors; a clever polygraph examiner and a wise usage of polygraph must make a choice whether to cover the feet or the head with this short blanket and conduct the examination accordingly. But a wiser approach should look to turn the short blanket into an elastic cover that can deal differently with different people and different situations. Following two-three decades of blessed efforts to develop strict standardization in the field, the time has come to start steering the polygraph ship back to greater flexibility and creativity, this time relying on scientific thinking and knowledge. Thus, contrary to the existing trend in the field, I call to drive modern Polygraphy towards developing a scientifically based approach that follows the motto of “Different Things to Different People and Different Situations”. In other words, I call for developing an adaptive approach or Adaptive Polygraphy. The Relevant Issue Gravity (RIG) Theory (Ginton, 2009) is presented here as a major theoretical and practical carrier for evolving and shaping the Adaptive Polygraphy. The article analyzes the current situation and draws some lines to follow in developing an Adaptive Polygraphy approach.

Wilcox and Rosie Gray, appeared in a European Polygraph volume number 1 in the 2012.This article is about of how the polygraph can be used to work with sexual offenders in the United Kingdom Publication it’s important for the development of Polish penal policy, the possible solutions of new regulations in Polish legislation, and as a result of the use of research possibilities of Post Conviction Clinical Polygraph Examination Testing (Lie Detector Testing) offers significant opportunities for monitoring sex offenders.

Jest to przekład artykułu „The Use of the Polygraph with Sex Offenders in the UK” autorstwa Daniela T. Wilcoxa i Rosie Gray’a, który ukazał się w „European Polygraph” numer 1 w 2012 roku. Artykuł dotyczy problematyki badań poligraficznych stosowanych wobec przestępców seksualnych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Publikacja ta jest ważna dla rozwoju polskiej polityki karnej, możliwych rozwiązań nowych regulacji w polskim prawodawstwie, a na skutek wykorzystania możliwości badawczych ekspertyz poligraficznych PCSOT, stosowanych wobec skazanych za przestępstwa popełnione na tle seksualnym, oferuje znaczne szanse monitorowania przestępców seksualnych.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie i ocena wydarzeń kształtujących na przestrzeni całego półwiecza pozycje badań poligraficznych w polskim procesie karnym. Pomimo upływu tak wielu lat wciąż jest to jeden z najbardziej spornych obszarów w procedurze, często pełen emocjonalnego nastawienia dyskutantów. Badania te stanowią również podręcznikowy przykład nagromadzenia wszystkich problemów, na które napotykają nowe metody kryminalistyczne na swojej drodze na sale sądowe. Wskazano, iż jedną z przyczyn może być ich błędne postrzeganie przez wielu procesualistów jako metody służącej wykrywaniu kłamstwa. Nie bez znaczenia jest też zdaniem autora stanowisko zajmowane przez Sąd Najwyższy. Jego linia orzecznicza jest raczej przychylna badaniom poligraficznym, jednak dostrzegalna jest w niej też nieporadność i skłonność do minimalizowania znaczenia opinii z tych badań. Wynika to w głównej mierze z trudności w przekształcaniu wniosków płynących z badań na fakty procesowe. Wydaje się, że właściwym rozwiązaniem, które otworzyłoby wreszcie szerzej podwoje procesu karnego przed badaniami poligraficznymi byłoby traktowanie ich jako sposobu weryfikacji wersji śledczej zakładanej wobec badanego. Przemawiają za tym też zapisy znowelizowanego w 2003 r. k.p.k.

The aim of the paper is to point to the events which have been shaping the position of Polygraph examination in Polish penal proceedings over the last 50 years as well as to evaluate them. Despite many year history, Polygraph remains one of the most controversial items in the proceedings, often evoking quite emotional attitudes of the disputants. The examinations constitute a “by-the-book” example of accumulating problems specific to novel forensic methods on their way to the courtroom. It has been indicated that one of the reasons lies in misperception of these as methods for lie detecting. The position of the Supreme Court is also quite meaningful here. Its jurisdiction remains rather in favour of Polygraph examination, however it is also characterized by certain awkwardness and inclination towards diminishing the meaning of Polygraph-based opinion. This is primarily due to the difficulties in translating the conclusions from findings into lawsuit facts. It seems that a pertinent solution to open up the gate for Polygraph examinations would be to treat these as the way to verify investigative version taken towards the subject.

The Integrated Zone Comparison Technique (IZCT) was utilized with computerized polygraph instrumentation and the Academy for Scientific Investigative Training’s Horizontal Scoring System ASIT PolySuite algorithm, as part of a blind study in the detection of deception. This paper represents a synergy analysis of combining fMRI only deception data with each of the three individual physiological parameters that are used in polygraph. They include the electro-dermal response (EDR), pneumo, and cardio measurements. In addition, we compared the detection accuracy analysis using each single parameter by itself. The fMRI score and each individual polygraph parameter score on individual subjects were averaged to establish an overall score.
