CFE – Investigation — Question 21

Eugene is conducting an admission-seeking interview of a suspect. During the interview, the suspect frequently looks away from Eugene while responding to questions. Eugene can safely conclude that the suspect is dishonest due to his failure to maintain eye contact.

Answer options

• A. True
• B. False

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a lack of eye contact does not definitively indicate dishonesty. Individuals may look away for various reasons such as nervousness or cultural factors, making it an unreliable sign of truthfulness.
