Forensic Statement Analysis is a tool that is highly effective in the detection of deception and the identification of hidden information in a person's written or spoken statements.  The analysis involves critically examining the word choice, structure, and content of a person's statement to determine whether it is truthful or deceptive. Using Investigative Statement Analysis (series of eight layered techniques) you will identify these linguistic signals that differentiate deceptive statements from truthful ones as your suspect subconsciously reveals information they did not intend for you to know.  This course is very interactive with significant hands-on, statement analysis practice.
