Introduction

Questions about deceit, lies, falsehood, and deception in business,

for methods and theories to the study of deception and deception 
detection. This book will offer broad perspectives, practices, case 
studies, and methods to the study of online deception. It will also 
offer deception detection methods on how to address the challenges of
