Tactica efectuării testului poligraf în fața instanței de judecată în cazul infracțiunilor contra libertății și integrității sexuale
The tactics of polygraphing in court in cases of offences against sexual freedom and integrity

Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes an analysis of the use of the polygraph in the criminal procedures in the trial phase, specifically in the cases of crimes against sexual freedom and integrity. Known as the lie detector test, the polygraph serves as an investigative tool in assessing the accuracy of the statements of the suspect/defendant, but it does not have an absolute probative value, as it is necessary to corroborate the test results with other evidence. The study aims to analyze the steps to be followed, as well as the practical purpose of the results, with an emphasis on the importance of the moment when the testing takes place and on the actual way in which the questions should be asked to the people subjected to the test, so that the court has at hand a suitable tool to help her establish the judicial truth.
