Standards of polygraph examination exclude testing sleep-deprived people. Lack of sleep (and examinee exhaustion) is a factor that can contribute to false polygraph examination results (including false positives). Based on behavioral assessments (careful observation of examinee behaviour during a pre-test interview and subsequent stages of polygraph examination), the critical role of examiners is to recognise incidences of lack of sleep and, consequently, to postpone the moment of testing. Professional literature treats the lack of sleep as a temporal inability to be subjected to the test (Widacki, 2018, 434). However, such a decision is nowadays usually powered with experts’ intuition (their experience) rather than the results of empirical research. There is therefore a need for conducting studies like the one presented below. In practice, a sleep-deprived person could take a polygraph examination for two main reasons. First, examinees may deliberately deprive themselves of sleep to interfere with the results of tests. Secondly, such a deprivation may be connected with external circumstances of a particular examination. In a case involving a jewelry store robbery in Katowice, police officers wanted an expert to examine the building’s security staff. They wanted to have outcomes of screening tests on the day of the theft. The expert refused to perform the test because the security guards were tired after the night shift. In any event, a polygrapher should not yield to pressure and test sleep-deprived persons. The main goal of the research reported in the present article is to explore the influence of sleep deprivation of tested subjects on the accuracy of polygraph test results.

The authors of this article consider the advantages of using a visual version of CIT during polygraph examinations. The presentation of the rarely used CIT encourages to discussion about the possibility of implementation such tests in serious criminal cases. Their application takes a form similar to the police lineup. However, the main difference is that the suspect reviews photographs of possible crime victim. In the described case we are dealing with a so-called “reverse police lineup”. As the result, the visual CIT proved that the examinee knew the victim of the crime, despite the fact that he had previously denied this. Thanks to the examinee’s arousal recorded on the key question, it was also possible to obtain the desired psychological effect in the form of the perpetrator’s confession and the indication of other evidence proving his guilt.

Previously, Krapohl (2020) evaluated the Bigger-Is-Better Rule (BIBR) on the polygraph electrodermal channel to assess whether there was a best minimum ratio between response sizes for assigning a score. Performance peaked at a minimum ratio between 10% and 20%. The ratios had been calculated by comparing the electrodermal responses for each relevant question against those of the immediately preceding comparison question. The analysis did not consider whether the same optimal ratio would be found if the relevant question electrodermal responses are compared to those of the stronger of two adjacent comparison questions. To investigate we analyzed responses from an independent sample of 255 laboratory cases. The data from those cases found the highest correlation between scores and ground truth occurred when the minimum difference between two electrodermal responses was 30%.

The article describes the issues of usefulness of polygraph research and the possibility of their application in tax proceedings. Professional polygraph research can be a valuable help in clarifying the facts of a tax case. However, tax authorities often underestimate their potential as evidence. The article attempts to establish the probative value of polygraph research in tax proceedings and to show the usefulness of this type of evidence in order to properly clarify a specific case by the tax authorities.

Opracowanie dotyczy problematyki użyteczności badań poligraficznych i możliwości ich zastosowania w postępowaniach podatkowych. Profesjonalne badania poligraficzne mogą stanowić cenną pomoc w wyjaśnianiu stanu faktycznego sprawy podatkowej. Niepokojące jest jednak to, że w rzeczywistości niedoceniany przez organy podatkowe jest ich potencjał dowodowy. W artykule podjęto próbę ustalenia mocy dowodowej badań poligraficznych na gruncie postępowania podatkowego oraz ukazania przydatności przeprowadzenia tego rodzaju dowodu w celu prawidłowego ustalenia przez organ podatkowy stanu faktycznego konkretnej sprawy.
