Abstract
Suspects involved in criminal investigations will withhold information from law enforcement personnel to avoid potential legal consequences. Discovering where suspects utilize this form of deception during interviews can help investigators identify specific portions of their narratives where follow-up inquiries should be made, providing an opportunity to gain critical information that would not otherwise be revealed. To gain this vital information, it is necessary to develop a noninvasive technique that law enforcement investigators can deploy in the field to detect deception in verbal communication as quickly and accurately as possible. This paper presents one such technique-grammatical structural analysis (GSA)-and discusses its viability in detecting deception, its limitations, and potential avenues for future research in determining the veracity of suspects statements by examining the structure and patterns in their verbal behavior
