Synopsis
This book is written for educators and others who want to find out the truth in any situation. The authors focus on searching for truth, the foundation for truth - moral law, the law of the conscience, and the law of the spirit. Attention is given to investigating the truth - evidence, witnesses, interviewing, and interrogating techniques. Readers learn how to uncover the truth by spotting liars through observing verbal and nonverbal clues. Acknowledging precautions for truth deals with He Said-She Said situations, incomplete information, misperception, filtering information, due process, cyberbullying, and sexual misconduct. The book concludes by discussing ministering consequences, making judgment calls, and establishing reconciliation and restoration programs. A final section addresses how to deal with threats of a lawsuit. This book is a must for all teachers and administrators facing "Who Done It" situations.
