Inbau, Reid, Buckley

Inbau, Reid, and Buckley are associated with methods used in criminal interrogations and lie detection. The Reid Technique, developed by John Reid and colleagues, is a structured approach that emphasizes behavioral analysis and psychological strategies to identify deception. It involves a series of steps designed to build rapport, confront inconsistencies, and encourage confessions. Inbau, a key contributor, along with Reid and Buckley, helped refine these methods, which prioritize direct questioning, observing behavioral cues, and strategic interview techniques. While effective for some, these methods are also controversial and must be applied ethically, respecting legal standards and individual rights.
