Abstract
Considering that the issue of deceptive behavior and its detection is very important for the police work, and that the phenomenon of lying is often present within police practice when interrogating suspects, this paper presents findings on the frequency of presence and grouping of nonverbal cues of deception by suspects who denied guilt during police interrogations in murder and rape cases. The survey involved 100 observers (49 men and 51 women), postgraduate students of the Criminalistics Department at the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies in Belgrade. The results of the research regarding the general assessment of body position, frequency of nonverbal cues and their grouping, indicate the presence of nonverbal cues related to the underlying psychological processes of deception.
