This article uses discourse and textual data, in conjunction with ethnographic data, to examine how probation officers routinely accomplish these investigations.

The accomplishment of each task requires that probation officers articulate or link existing knowledge categories with information that emerges during interviews with defendants.","PeriodicalId":89870,"journal":{"name":"Women's health & urban life : an international and interdisciplinary journal","volume":"56 6 1","pages":"207 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77877614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article, in contrast, views lie-detector tests as a social control convention and focuses upon the technique's social organization and interactive context. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with polygraph examiners and the second author's lengthy experience as a practicing examiner, the article describes the examiner's craft and the test encounter. The setting and interaction are organized toward two interrelated goals: to produce “good charts” and to generate admissions and confessions. These ends in turn are sought by “selling” the subject on the polygraph's ability to detect deception, overcoming subjects' “countermeasures,” and presenting test results to subjects in ways that can induce confessions. These everyday features of polygraph work must be understood before we can appreciate the wider legal, ethical, and policy meanings of lie detection.","PeriodicalId":89870,"journal":{"name":"Women's health & urban life : an international and interdisciplinary journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"177 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89879190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article analyzes the strategies and practices used successfully by this probation officer during one critical encounter to negotiate the parents' agreement to this course of action.
