Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Fraud, Persuasion and Scam Techniques provides an in-depth explanation of not only why we fall for scams and how fraudsters use technology and other techniques to manipulate others, but also why fraud prevention advice is not always effective. Starting with how fraud victimisation is perceived by society and why fraud is underreported, the book explores the different types of fraud and the human and demographic factors that make us vulnerable. It explains how fraud has become increasingly sophisticated and how fraudsters use communication, deception and theories of rationality, cognition and judgmental heuristics, as well as specific persuasion and scam techniques, to encourage compliance. Covering frauds including romance scams and phishing attacks such as advance fee frauds and so-called miracle cures, the book explores ways we can learn to spot scams and persuasive communication, with checklists and advice for reflection and protection. Featuring a set of practical guidelines to reduce fraud vulnerability, advice on how to effectively report fraud and educative case studies and examples, this easy-to-read, instructive book is essential reading for fraud prevention specialists, fraud victims and academics and students interested in the psychology of fraud.
Download or read book Dark Persuasion written by Joel E. Dimsdale and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A harrowing account of brainwashing’s pervasive role in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries This gripping book traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and religious control. Tracing these developments through many of the past century’s major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs for interrogation. Brainwashing returned to the spotlight during the Cold War in the hands of the North Koreans and Chinese. In response, a huge Manhattan Project of the Mind was established to study memory obliteration, indoctrination during sleep, and hallucinogens. Cults used the techniques as well. Nobel laureates, university academics, intelligence operatives, criminals, and clerics all populate this shattering and dark story—one that hasn’t yet ended.

Download or read book Interrogation written by Charles L. Yeschke and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2004 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores practical and legal tactics of interrogation by which to seek the truth and in particular confessions or admissions. Its goal is to provide the investigator with the skills to persuade the culpable to confess or reveal information that may be the equivalent of a full confession. The initial chapter provides the reader with a roadmap to interrogation and outlines the book�s organization followed by a discussion of the philosophical and legal underpinnings of interrogation. Chapter 3 reflects elements of the Polyphasic Flowchart which are interrelated between interviewing and interrogation, while the following chapter deals with difficult interviewees and especially explores working with psychopaths. Chapter 5 considers interview question formulation, and in Chapter 6 the self-fulfilling prophesy of interrogation along with its support elements of patience, active listening, and intuition is explored. In the following chapter aspects of detection of deception and the role of the polygraphist is explored. In Chapter 8 the smooth transition from interview to interrogation is pondered, while Chapter 9 reviews the basic considerations and techniques that can be applied to any situation. Face-to-face interrogation tactics that encourage culpable subjects to confess is contemplated in Chapter 10. Chapter 11 scrutinizes actual, real-world confessions, including false confessions. The penultimate chapter deals with the difficult sexually related offenses and provides many actual case studies. And, in the final chapter an in-depth case study of a bank theft investigation is provided and illustrates the use of the Polyphasic Flowchart. The reader will find that this unique book functions as a very practical guide to the successful development of effective police interrogation skills and techniques.

Book excerpt: In the midst of this endless variety of opinion, what man, or what body of men, has the right to say, in regard to any particular action, or course of action, "we have tried this experiment, and determined every question involved in it? We have determined it, not only for ourselves, but for all others? And, as to all those who are weaker than we, we will coerce them to act in obedience to our conclusions? We will suffer no further experiment or inquiry by any one, and, consequently, no further acquisition of knowledge by anybody?"
Download or read book Fighting the Death Penalty written by Eugene G. Wanger and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michigan is the only state in the country that has a death penalty prohibition in its constitution—Eugene G. Wanger’s compelling arguments against capital punishment is a large reason it is there. The forty pieces in this volume are writings created or used by the author, who penned the prohibition clause, during his fifty years as a death penalty abolitionist. His extraordinary background in forensics, law, and political activity as constitutional convention delegate and co-chairman of the Michigan Committee Against Capital Punishment has produced a remarkable collection. It is not only a fifty-year history of the anti–death penalty argument in America, it also is a detailed and challenging example of how the argument against capital punishment may be successfully made.
