“The APOD has revolutionized interviewing sex offenders.”
““As a Digital Forensics Investigator/Analyst the outcomes of my work rely heavily on the tools I have at hand. After attending Dr. Turner’s training on the Analysis of Patterns of Denial (APOD) I can’t imagine I’ll ever look at or perform an interview or review the same way again. This instrument will surely be an invaluable asset to our unit for years to come. I encourage any law enforcement officer that deals with investigational interviews to add this to the list of must have trainings.””
Dr. Turner began working over ten years ago on what was to become the APOD, a scientifically sound and empirically supported measure which identifies common measures employed by offenders who are engaging in denial of their sex offenses. Through the assistance of law enforcement agencies across the United States, this primary group has been compared statistically with a group of falsely accused individuals - that is, persons accused of a sexual offense who have been cleared by solid evidence such as polygraph data, DNA evidence, concoctions of another offender or offenders, etc.
Posted March, 2018:We are happy to announce that data collection has been completed (after 8 years!) and data analysis is underway. The initial findings are extremely promising, and our hope is that we may devise an instrument that will help professionals involved in the many different areas of this field, from investigators to mental health providers. Please continue to check this website. As we come closer to publication and the ability to offer more trainings on the proper use of the instrument, we will be posting information here. Thank you again for all of the work that you do in this difficult field.
PUBLICATION! The article introducing the APOD instrument has been successfully peer reviewed and is currently in press. Once publication is complete, a PDF version of the instrument and manual will be available here for purchase and download.
Trainings in certification in the use of the instrument have begun to be scheduled. Please check the below for updated trainings or to request a training in your area.
