1 The Flexible Liar A Strategy for Deception Detection in Written Witness Statements Isabel Picornell, Ph.D., CFE ACFE 2013 European Fraud Conference Prague, Czech Republic QED
2 Deception and Evolution Deception is an evolutionary strategy for natural selection.
3 Evolution and Communication Psychological speech acts evolved to facilitate communication: Cooperative principle We automatically assume that participants in a conversation are being cooperative. Conversational maxims We assume that cooperative communicators are: Informative Truthful Relevant Clear
4 Communication and Deception Deception piggybacks on our communication behaviour, like a parasite. Deception is truth mimicry.
5 Theoretical Assumptions for Deception Psychologists assume that deception will affect deceivers : Thoughts Feelings Cognitive processes And this will be reflected in certain perspectives: Emotion leakage Lack of embracement Cognitive load
6 The Othello Error The misinterpretation of signs of strong emotion, cognitive complexity, and attempted control as indicative of deception. The same processes will be active in someone who is lying and worried about being caught, and in someone who is telling the truth and worried about not being believed.
7 Deception Cues Are Not Constant We use language differently when we speak and when we write: In speech, language expresses reality as a process. The people in the colony celebrated enthusiastically when it was promised that things would change in this way. In writing, reality is expressed as an object. Opinion in the colony greeted the promised change with enthusiasm.
8 Deception Cues Are Not Constant In verbal contexts, cues change according to: Time to construct the lie Pressure to respond to questions Attitude of the addressee In written contexts, cues change according to: Planning opportunities Rehearsal time Response time Editing opportunities
9 Witness Statements A witness statement is a narrative relating to an event witnessed or experienced by the individual writing the statement.
10 The Narrative Progression A narrative is a report of: A sequence of events That has entered into the biography of the narrator Reportable Event Clause 1 Temporal Juncture Clause 2 I picked up the gun. He shot me.
11 The Narrative Progression Narrators linguistically reconstruct reality to create meaning. Credibility arises from addressees believing that the reportable event occurred in real time.
12 Narratives as a Progression of Episodes Narrators subdivide their narratives into thematic bundles of information (episodes).
13 Sentence Structures Clauses Independent clauses: stand on their own her house was broken into the robbers fled the suspect emerged from the darkness Main clauses Dependent clauses: need to be attached to an independent clause while she was at home when the police arrived as I headed back to my vehicle Subordinate clauses
14 Segmentation Markers Standard order of sentence clauses main clause + subordinate clause [The robbers fled] + [when the police arrived.] Marked order of sentence clauses subordinate clause + main clause [When the police arrived] + [the robbers fled.]
15 Marked Sentence Structures Those sentences which have an initial adjunct, subordinate clause or phrase, or prepositional phrase with an adverbial function. (McEwan & Prideaux, 1997) At this point, I felt the suspect reach for my gun. In August 2011, my neighbour s house was broken into. Suddenly, my head felt like it was going to explode. As I slid, the suspect covered my mouth and nose and stopped my breathing. Then, the officer placed me in the back of his vehicle.
16 When she was going through the metal detector, she didn t put her bags in the x-ray machine. That is when I called the police about everything. Highlight important info. New episode. Creating Episodes Once we got to the train station, we met with a group of friends. Change location. New episode. After proceeding for approximately onehalf mile on Dike road, I descended a hill. Moments later, the ambulance arrived. Change in the time frame. New episode. Bring in new person. New episode. So then, the officer was bringing this other guy in. After about an hour, we got bored. Suddenly, the suspect walked out of the darkness.
17 [On July 18, 1969, at approximately 11:15 p.m. in Chappaquiddick, Martha s Vineyard, Massachusetts, I was driving my car on Main Street] [on my way to get the ferry back to Edgartown.] [I was unfamiliar with the road] [and turned right onto Dike Road,] [instead of bearing hard left on Main Street.] [After proceeding for approximately one-half mile on Dike Road,] [I descended a hill] [and came upon a narrow bridge.] [The car went off the side of the bridge.] [There was one passenger with me, one Miss Mary Kopechne, a former secretary of my brother, Sen. Robert Kennedy.] [The car turned over] [and sank into the water] [and landed] [with the roof resting on the bottom.] [I attempted to open the door and the window of the car,] [but have no recollection] [of how I got out of the car.] [I came to the surface] [and then repeatedly dove down to the car] [in an attempt to see] [if the passenger was still in the car.] [I was unsuccessful in the attempt.] [I was exhausted and in a state of shock.] [I recall walking back] [to where my friends were eating.] [There was a car parked in front of the cottage] [and I climbed into the back seat.] [I then asked for someone] [to bring me back to Edgartown.] [I remember walking around for a period of time] [and then going back to my hotel room.] [When I fully realized] [what had happened this morning,] [I immediately contacted the police.]

19 Deception as a Progression Deception is a progression of acts over time. Focus is driven by intentions and guided by the route the communicator formulates to move through the field of thought. (Anolli, Barconi, Ciceri, 2002)
20 Deception Strategies in Witness Narratives Focus features: Author focus: Self-references individually (e.g., I, me, my) First person singular pronouns collectively (e.g., I, me, my, mine) Joint/other focus First person plural pronouns (e.g., we, us, our) Third person pronouns (e.g., he, she, it, they, their, theirs)

23 Deception Strategies in Witness Narratives Ambiguity features: Verb strings two+ verbs functioning as a single verb (e.g., went to call, started yelling, tried to open, etc.) Negation indicating the act or process of negating or something w/o existence (e.g., no, not, nothing, unsuccessful) Cognitive verbs identifying a cognitive (mental) function (e.g., think, seem, appear, etc.) Indefinite pronouns referring to something unspecified (e.g., something, one, thing(s), etc.)

34 Narrative Fragmentation Deceptive narratives are more likely to fragment into many and shorter episodes. Marked sentence structures serve as discontinuity markers, and signal the lack of cohesion between the events described. [and then made me] [drive] [then he told me] [to stop crying.] [He told me] [to stop the car.] [He took tape out] [and put it on my wrists] [and then he cut my lips with his knife] [and then put tape on my mouth.] [He cut my blouse.] [He was angry] [cuz he said] [his damn knife was dull.] [He wanted a souvenir] [and he couldn t get] [but he cut my hair.] [He started driving] [and telephoned someone] [and said] [to meet him at that place.] [He locked my keys in my car] [and then a yellow van came] [and got him.] [I waited for a while]
35 Main Deceptive Linguistic Strategies Prolix and Personal Verbose approach with high ambiguity and immediacy Very high use of first person singular pronouns Very high use of I Very high use of my High+ use of ambiguity features Impersonal Focus is other or jointly oriented; factual approach High use of third person pronouns High+ use of me and/or my, replacing I Ambiguity features may be normal Excessive episode fragmentation may be indicative of lack of cohesion.
