The polygraph, most commonly known as the lie detector, was created
and refined by academics in university settings with support from a
few early police agencies. This work is a history of the polygraph,
from the experimental work of the late 1800s that led directly to
its creation, until the present. It covers early lie detectors and
their inventors from the 1860s to the early 1920s, their use by the
police and other law enforcement agencies in the 1930s and their
use in Cold War America in the 1940s and 1950s. It then discusses
the government's use of the polygraph in the 1960s, the PSE, a new
take on the old polygraph, and private business' reliance on the
polygraph in the 1970s and the government's increasing reluctance
to use the polygraph in the 1980s. It ends with a chapter on new
ideas and uses for the polygraph that have surfaced over the last
decade.
