Polygraph examinations in the Polish investigative practice are based on two types of tests: the Concealed Information Test [CIT] and the Comparison Questions Test [CQT]. Much discussion about the benefits and limitations of both of them has been conducted worldwide for many years, which resulted mainly from a generally low acceptance of polygraph examination by the scientific community. This situation was also present in Poland. Therefore, the researchers focused on a thorough analysis of the scientific basis and effectiveness of both methods pointing to the differences of both methods and supported one, chosen type of test. As a result of long-term discussions, Polish polygraph examiners concluded that the CIT as well as the CQT are equally important in the forensic field and they should be treated more as complementary methods than the competitive ones; both are particularly helpful in "so called" difficult investigations. The case study described in this article shows that when both tests are used correctly, polygraph examinations may support the investigative work successfully. It can be seen especially in criminal cases where the police do not have traditional forensic evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Poligrafske preiskave v poljski preiskovalni praksi temeljijo na dveh tipih testov: vizualni test prepoznavanja, t. i. recognition test, v formatu CIT (angl. Concealed Information Test) in test primerjalnih vprašanj (angl. Comparison Questions Test [CQT]). V zadnjih letih se je širom sveta veliko razpravljalo o prednostih in omejitvah omenjenih testov. Razlogi za razpravljanje o uporabnosti testov izhajajo iz splošne nizke sprejemljivosti poligrafskih raziskav v znanstveni skupnosti. Ta položaj je prisoten tudi na Poljskem. Posledično so se raziskovalci osredotočili na poglobljeno analizo znanstvenih temeljev in učinkovitosti obeh metod, ki je opozorila na razlike med metodama in podpirala le eno, izbrano vrsto testov. Kot rezultat trajajočih razprav so poljski poligrafski preiskovalci zaključili, da sta oba testa enako pomembna za forenzično področje, zato ne bi smela biti obravnavana kot konkurenčni, temveč kot komplementarni metodi. Oba testa sta še posebej koristna v t. i. težavnih preiskavah. Opis studije primera v prispevku kaže, da lahko v primeru pravilne uporabe obeh testov poligrafski preiskovalci učinkovito podprejo preiskovalno delo. Uporabnost testov še posebej pride do izraza v kazenskih primerih, kjer policija nima tradicionalnih forenzičnih dokazov. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
