What is "Investigative Statement Analysis"?
Since 2003, LSAT (Linguistic Statement Analysis Technique) has trained thousands of people in "Investigative Statement Analysis". ISA is a highly technical method that examines multiple elements of language. Focusing on research from the areas of psychology, cryptology, linguistics, and mathematics, the analyst reveals the trends in language that tell if the story is the product of memory (truth) or fabrication (deception).
The analyst is actually able to view the crime through the eyes of the author, adopting their thought process to discover evidence, activities, people and hidden information they tried to conceal from the reader.
Armed with the truth behind the story, the analyst strategizes their interrogation and uses the author's own words against them to trap the guilty person and compels them to confess.
The LSAT analyst uses our validated, researched technique to search the statement much like a crime scene. They locate "language evidence" that is associated with deception. The liar uses unique wording, phrasing, content, structure and quantities of information that reveal not only if they did it but also, when, why and how they did it.

FAQ
IS LSAT A METHOD OF READING BODY LANGUAGE?
No, LSAT is not directly related to body language. Body language teaches students to recognize deception in physiological responses such as pupil dilation, pore size, skin flush, muscle tone changes, breathing, etc. LSAT teaches how to recognize deception manifested in linguistic responses. The physiological and linguistic responses probably originate in the same place, but become outwardly recognizable in totally different places: one in bodily responses, the other in language.
The benefit of LSAT over body language is that body language does not deal with information. While both can detect deception, only LSAT can reveal what the deception is because the reality behind their deception is revealed in their language.
WILL I LEARN HOW TO INTERVIEW OR INTERROGATE PEOPLE WITH LSAT TRAINING?
LSAT is not an interview technique, but interviewing/interrogating strategy is covered in LSAT training courses. Interview and interrogation training revolves around learning “What questions should I ask?”. LSAT training revolves around “How do I deal with information the person has given me?”
LSAT student learn quickly that there is only one elementary question to ask to gain information to gain the truth: “Tell me what happened.” From this question, victims, suspects and witnesses all will provide the information the analyst needs to reveal the truth, even if someone doesn’t realize it or thinks they have concealed it.
IS LSAT THE SAME AS HANDWRITING ANALYSIS?
No, LSAT is not handwriting analysis. Handwriting analysis involves either comparing one hand-written document to another or examining unique physical characteristics of an individual’s handwriting that reveal details about the person who wrote it.
 LSAT examines “what” the person wrote (content) and the manner in which they wrote it (structure). Unlike handwriting analysis, LSAT does not require a statement to be handwritten since it is examining the content rather than the style. Handwriting analysis and LSAT reveal different facets of a person’s statement, LSAT being much more revealing and useful, although both are valuable in filling a void in investigations.
HOW DO I USE LSAT TO SOLVE CRIMES?
LSAT allows an investigator to know prior to an interview or advanced investigation, whether the author of the statement is deceptive or truthful and in both cases reveals significant additional, hidden information the author did not realize they included that nearly always sheds a different, light on their story.
Instead of an investigator having to examine and question the veracity of every facet of someone’s story beginning to end as in a traditional investigation, LSAT allows them to know EXACTLY where the deception lies and attack it directly. In the guilty person, this creates guilt feelings and anxiety, bringing them much more quickly and easily to a point of confession. It prevents hit-and-miss interviewing and saves countless hours of frustration.
