Bart Whaley and Jeffrey Busby, Detecting Deception: Practice, Practitioners, and Theory, 6 Trends in Organized Crime 73 (Fall 2000).
Of the forty-six types of detectives studied, all but one used the same general procedures to detect deception. (The exception was the adversarial method used by trial lawyers working in the American judicial system.) All others used standard logical systems (both deductive and inductive) in combination with intuitive methods. The more successful detections seemed to be closely associated with intuitive methods, particularly so-called “indirect thinking”.
