Abstract
Cheating, sabotage, stealing and whistle-blowing at work, almost by definition, involves deception of one sort or another. This chapter will look at detection of deception. How easy and reliable is it to spot people lying? Can you be taught how to detect lie-telling accurately? Are some people simply better liars and liar-spotters than others? Can the conscience — free, psychopathic, liar — ever be detected?
