Adaptive Polygraphy

As we move deeper into the 21st century, this book intends to advance the practice and science of polygraphy by offering a different perspective.

Avital Ginton (Ph.D.), born in Israel in 1947, is a psychologist and retired commander of the Israel Police (1977–1999). He led key units in forensic behavioral science, while also holding part-time academic teaching and research positions. His expertise includes polygraph testing, profiling, and memory refreshment. After retiring, he founded a private institute that offers international services and training in these areas and continued teaching at the university. Over the years, he has developed a new theoretical framework for polygraph testing, the Relevant Issue Gravity (RIG).
