Detecting Deception? No! Holistic Contextual Credibility Assessment!

Any approach based on monitoring bodily functions is not useful. Whether the bodily function techniques use technology or supposedly trained experts, none of them are skillful in detecting deception.

This book advocates for Credibility Assessment using a method created and proven in three practical domains: intelligence, consular, and commercial executive recruiting.

The method introduced and explained here is Holistic Contextual Credibility Assessment (HCCA). Gathering data and evidence about the subject from all angles, holistically, is the heart of the method. Acknowledging that people are different in different cultural contexts, that actions, speech, attitudes differ from one culture or sub-culture to another is a key concept. HCCA incorporates the concept of context by requiring a practitioner to have contextual competence in the domain of the subject. Logical deduction, along with subjective contextually competent intuition are incorporated in the assessment phase. The results of assessment lead to a judgement of credibility.
