South Africa Crime Statistic 2018

The crime statistics for South Africa 2018 has been released, and unfortunately it seems that the crime situation is not looking better.

Professional Polygraph Testing

It is that time of the year again when the holly jolly of Christmas tunes and the smell of marshmallow riddled hot-chocolate collide to spark an irresistible holiday spirit. Despite the vigorous attempts of that last-minute filing clawing for your attention, its efforts are all but futile as its pleas are drowned away by the humming of ‘Tis the season . . . ‘ One thing shines and flickers brighter than even the biggest of the premature decorations filling the halls of shopping malls and the metaphorical social media chat rooms alike, and that is the constant blaring of “Holiday Specials!” and […]

Qualified and Accredited

It is no accident that I used the word polygraph professional instead of polygraph examiners in the headline. Polygraph examinations are becoming increasingly popular as an effective tool in investigations and as part of a robust pre-employment screening system. Unfortunately, due to the great success, there is great demand, and where there is great demand, there is cheap imitation products. As Charles L. Yeschke put it in his paper he wrote in 1965; Ethics and the Polygraph Examiner: “Every profession, including law and medicine, has historically gone through a transition period of development similar to that which the detection of deception […]

Advanced Training 2017

It was that time of the year again where the PISA Integrity Assessment Centre attended the annual advanced training courses presented by the Southern African Polygraph Federation. This year it was held in Centurion with guest speaker Gil Witte and as always it was an extremely informative event which placed a lot of focus on the latest and greatest techniques and research. A lot of focus was given to the implementation and use of the Directed Lie Screening Test and the very popular UTAH Comparison Question Technique. Boasting solid accuracy ratings and supported by credible scientific research, these techniques are […]

Voice Stress Testing

The PISA Integrity Assessment Centre and all of its affiliates do not make use of nor endorse the use of any Voice Stress Analysis of any kind, and for good reason. The vast majority of independent studies have yielded that “it is almost as accurate as flipping a coin.” It is for this reason that professional polygraph associations do not associate themselves with these practices. This includes the Southern African Polygraph Federation and the American Polygraph Association. In this scathing interview Charles Humble confirms the incredible lack of scientific evidence. Unfortunately, despite making incredible promises and showcasing a variety of […]

The Protection of Personal Information Act and Polygraph Examinations

With the implementation of the Protection of Personal Information Act many questions have been raised as to how the act will influence the implementation of polygraph examinations in South Africa. In order to ensure the compliance of the PISA Integrity Assessment Centre, the PISA Pre-Employment Screening Centre and the Polygraph Institute of South Africa we attended a training workshop held at Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry House. It is with great pride that all branches of the PISA Integrity Assessment Centre complies with the Protection of Personal Information Act and is ready, equipped and willing to assist any of […]

Polygraph Tests and Crime

Some observers find explanations for modern day violence and increased rates of criminal victimisation in the widespread media exposure of violence, especially on television and in film. Other explanations for crime can also be offered, including those that target biological factors such as genetic abnormalities which may predispose people towards crime and violence and others which look to individual psychological difficulties, or variations in patterns of early socialisation. Likewise social institutions such as the family, schools and religious bodies can be examined for the role they play in reducing or enhancing the likelihood of criminality in the community. For example, […]
