Detecting lies and deceit: Pitfalls and opportunities
(3 hours - max. 30 participants)

Highly accurate lie detection techniques are on top of many investigative authorities' wish list. Unfortunately, research shows that humans are not very good lie detectors, and usable technology seems limited. In this workshop, you will learn what to look for (and what not) to spot a liar. Topics include both verbal and non-verbal cues to deception, as well as the use of the polygraph.

Structured violence risk assessment: Research and practice
(6 hours divided into two parts - max. 25 participants)

In this workshop, recent research on structured instruments for violence risk assessment will be reviewed. Several different types of violence will be covered, such as sexual violence, relational violence and child abuse. Special attention will be given to gender issues (a lot of research focuses on male perpetrators of violence, but what about women?) and the mediating role of protective factors. Structured violence risk assessment will be practiced on the basis of two cases of different types of violence.

Speaker identification in the forensic arena
(3 hours - max. 30 participants)

As a behavioural biometric, speech is not in the best of positions to compete with non-behavioural, time-invariant trace material like fingerprints or DNA.  In spite of the regular appearance of high-tech speaker identification equipment in contemporary fiction and the film industry, forensic speaker identification is still an extremely challenging field, in which the promise held by technological advance remains largely unfulfilled. In most countries, a combination of phonetic-linguistic and semi-automatic methods is used in forensic casework rather than fully automatic systems, although the use of the latter appears to be on the increase. Still, forensic speaker identification practice remains dominated by the use of a wide variety of largely subjective procedures. Though typically expressed as qualified opinions, expert opinions in this field, as in handwriting analysis and most other forms of traditional forensic identification, are often effectively (disguised) categorical judgements. By and large, forensic identification experts seem unaware of the danger of bias effects and take no steps to shield themselves from contextual information. Limitations of the traditional reporting format are discussed as well as an alternative, logically correct format used by a group of predominantly UK experts. In addition, a novel approach involving a blind evidence line-up will be illustrated.

Forensisch psychodiagnostisch gereedschap - Malingering, psychopathie en andere persoonlijkheidstrekken
(
3uur - max. 30 deelnemers)

Tijdens de workshop Forensisch Psychodiagnostisch Gereedschap - Malingering, Suggestibiliteit en andere Persoonlijkheidstrekken zal informatie aan bod komen over een reeks psychodiagnostische instrumenten afkomstig uit verschillende psychologische domeinen. Mogelijke toepassingen van de instrumenten worden aan de hand van casuïstiek geïllustreerd en deelnemers leren het instrument zelf af te nemen en de verkregen resultaten te interpreteren. De workshop bestaat uit meerdere delen. Deel 1 geeft een inleiding in de systematiek en besteedt aandacht aan de specialistische kennis en vaardigheden die vereist zijn in het domein van de forensische psychodiagnostiek (Dr. M. Jelicic). Deel 2 beschrijft meetinstrumenten die zijn ontwikkeld om persoonlijkheidstrekken in kaart te brengen en relevant zijn voor de forensische rapportage (Dr. T. Giesbrecht). Deel 3 richt zich op het meten van de vatbaarheid voor suggestie tijdens bijvoorbeeld verhoorsituaties. Ook het vaststellen van meegaandheid komt in dit deel aan bod. Deel 4 richt zich op het in kaart brengen van objectieve en subjectieve beperkingen in het cognitief functioneren en bevat ook instrumenten die zijn ontwikkeld om het voorwenden van symptomen, zoals geveinsd geheugenverlies, op te sporen (Prof. H. Merckelbach).
