“…‘Criminal profiling’ refers to the process of identifying personality traits, behavioral tendencies and demographic variables of an offender based on characteristics of the crime. [5] Frequently this is based on database collected on previous offenders who have committed similar offences. Bartol et al [3] contend that this is 95% an art based on speculation and only 5% science.…”

The purpose of this article is to describe ways that legal psychology can be introduced into the undergraduate curriculum. The extent to which undergraduate "psychology and law" courses are currently a part of the curriculum is described, and a model is proposed for coursework in a Psychology Department that might adequately reflect coverage of the legal area. The role of legal psychology in interdisciplinary programs and Criminal Justice departments is discussed. Sources for teaching aids and curricular materials are described.

“…Like the polygraph, it relies on a hypothesized causal relationship between lying and emotional arousal. Although adequate scientific tests of the instrument have not been reported, the available data give no reason to believe that it will fare any better than the polygraph (Annon, 1988; Bartol & Bartol, 1994).…”

“…Signs of the falsified or concealed emotions “leak” through such channels as limb movements or facial expressions, and the task of lie detection is one of recognizing the signs of emotional leakage. Although the theory is attractive and intuitively plausible, empirical support has been slow in coming (Bartol & Bartol, 1994; Ekman & O'SuUivan, 1991).…”

Traditional procedures for detecting deception are based on the global-signs-of-tying model, with its assumption that certain univenal, physiologically mediated signs result from attempts to deceive, independent of content. More recent attempts to detect deception can profitably be viewed from a cognitive rather than affective penpctive: (a) in terms of accuracy of knowledge, in which a person's success at deception regarding a paficular characteristic depends on the extent of his or her knowledge of that characteristic: and (b) in terms of attempts to personalty inffuence the examiner. Such procedures have been successful in detecting simulation in psychopathology, amnesia, neurological disorders, pain, and other areas. They tend to be situation spedffc and to depend on empirically discovered differences between simulators and persons who possess the characteristic.Pinocchio had scarcely told a lie when his nose, which was already long, grew at once twofingers longer. (Carlo Collodi, The Adventures ofPinocchio)The purpose of this article is to present contemporary models for understanding and detecting deceptive behavior, as an alternative to the global-signs-of-lying model that has dominated the field for many years. First, the traditional model is presented and briefly dmussed theoretically and empirically. Next, two contemporary models are
