  "DETECTING DECEPTION THROUGH STATEMENT ANALYSIS" ________________________________________________   1. LISTEN FOR UNIQUE/QUALIFYING WORDS: words like "just" is a great example. "Just" is a qualifying word that is said to minimize what sentences come after that word. 2. INVOLKING GOD: When a suspect reverts to, "I swear to God." Research suggests, despite the allegiance being declared, 50% of the time, this person is lying by trying to appeal to the moral high ground of "God." 3. THE LYING #3: Research suggests a correlation between the number 3, and dishonesty. Of course, it is not always a sign of deception, it is certainly something to take note of.  It's referred to as "the Liar's 3." Often times, this number comes out when a subject is assigning a time that they left Place A, or "arrived" at  Place B. (about 3). Another example might be that someone stole $300 dollars. The more number 3's you hear i...

  LONE WOLF TERRORISM IN AMERICA _____________________________________ ABSTRACT/OVERVIEW: Research gathered over time was put into a government database that is considered the largest in existence in terms of databases dedicated solely to collecting data about "lone wolf" terrorism. The most recent detailed research suggests that two trends have made themselves more clear though the results of in-depth-research: 1. Studies have found that the biggest threats/targets of  domestic terrorism are uniformed police and or military members. 2. Secondly, recent trends suggest a commonality in mass shooting events, the lone wolf's weapon of choice has  overwhelmingly become a long-range, or high-velocity firearms.

There were some distinct commonalities in all lone wolf situations: most were "bullied", are  single, white, male; likely with a criminal reco...
