The Use of Polygraph Machines

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Use of Polygraph Machines
Published: September 2, 2018 by VPR Producer

We have all heard of polygraph machines or ‘lie detectors.’ But are they truly reliable? Their results are inadmissible in court and yet some investigation agencies still use them. We talk to historian and author John Philipp Baesler about the polygraph’s history and its questionable use in our modern world.
