Polygraph as the New Role for Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance
Keywords:
Polygraph, Criminal Investigation, TortureAbstract
Due to the enforcement of The Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act 2022, the current criminal investigation by the police must be conducted with discretion, without causing any physical or mental harm to the subject, and with the protection of Human Rights as the highest priority. To obtain information and/or confessions from a witness or suspect, it is necessary to enhance the police investigative process with the appropriate psychological mechanisms or tools for examining the testimony of witnesses, suspects, and even victims who involved in such a crime. The purpose of this article is to discuss the possibilities of using the polygraph as one of the Investigative Psychology instruments that have been utilized for decades in both nationally and internationally legal proceedings, regarding the testimony of the person involved in the case. In order to reduce the issue of physical and verbal torture by government officials, this shall be a further alternative instrument for enhancing criminal investigative standards based on scientific principles.
