Abstract

Summary

The article discusses the potential use of lie detectors in Polish criminal proceedings. The basic purpose of the polygraph test (viz. the lie detector) is to eliminate erroneous diagnoses of evidence given by witnesses in criminal investigations, but the validity of the method is still controversial. The author of this article expresses her opinion in favour of the polygraph as a potentially useful instrument in the collection of evidence in criminal proceedings.

Keywords:

evidence, the polygraph (the lie detector).
