Polygraph, and Girl Scout History


The following example is a polygraph test session showing information requested based on an infidelity case. The entire polygraph procedure is completed in a single office visit. There is no time limit to the session. All issues are discussed openly in front of the individual who will be submitting to the polygraph examination. The individual taking the test needs to know what issues are in question before the test is administered. Among the many applications of the polygraph are: police applicant screening, evidentiary polygraphy, criminal asset location, sex offender management, counterintelligence screening, political asylum validation, pre-trial stipulation, counter-narcotics programs, and counter-terrorism programs. The polygraph continues to be a mainstay in criminal investigations, of course, resolving a substantial number of cases every day from behind the scenes. The APA has a body of ethical standards and principles of practice that are required of its members. Self-regulation is part of the APA’s professional model, which assures that its members recognize the rights of the examinee and the interests of the public. For those intending to pursue a career in the polygraph profession, membership in the APA provides a solid foundation for your practice, whether in government, law enforcement or the private sector. Likewise, for those who want to engage the services of a polygraph professional, choosing an examiner who holds APA membership is a wise choice. A polygraph test, also known as a lie detector test, uses a person's vital signs to attempt to determine whether the person is lying when answering a series of questions.

Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts of the USA, was born Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Ga. "Daisy," as she was affectionately called by family and friends, was the second of six children of William Washington Gordon and Eleanor Kinzie Gordon. Family members on her father's side were early settlers in Georgia, and her mother's family played an important role in the founding of Chicago, Illinois. A sensitive and talented youngster, Daisy Gordon spent a happy childhood in her large Savannah home, which was purchased and restored by Girl Scouts of the USA in 1953. Now known as the Juliette Gordon Low Girl Scout National Center, or often referred to as the Birthplace, the handsome English Regency house was designated a registered National Historic Landmark in 1965.

  2. Andrea,

    You wrote some very interesting information about the polygraph. I would have been interested in learning more about the actual history of the polygraph and how it came into use. One of my questions is what is the APA? If you mention something with an abbreviation, you need to make sure that you define what that something is.

    I learned so much about the lady who founded the girl scouts, but I was really looking forward to reading about the history of the girl scouts. You need to make sure that you are writing about the assigned topic.
