Interview and Interrogation Techniques:
The Truth About Body Language and Deception
Everyone has a theory about body language — but most of them are dead wrong.
In this course, we separate myth from reality and give you practical tools backed by research.
Learn what body language actually reveals — and what it doesn’t — so you can avoid critical mistakes and stay focused on the facts.
What You Will Learn
- Why most body language “rules” lead to false assumptions.
- What the science really says about deception and movement.
- Key nonverbal signals that support — not replace — verbal content.
- How context and baseline behavior shape interpretation.
- How to avoid the “junk science” trap in court or on the stand.
Why It Matters
Body language myths are everywhere — in pop culture, on YouTube, even in some police training rooms.
Relying on outdated or debunked cues doesn’t just weaken your case — it can destroy your credibility.
This course gives you the tools to separate science from speculation so your analysis holds up in the real world — and in court.
Who Should Register
- Investigators who want to avoid false reads and bad assumptions.
- Law enforcement professionals looking to update outdated training.
- Fire, arson, and fraud investigators who rely on nonverbal cues.
