Research from a Bowling Green State University faculty member recently found that one of the best strategies in the context of the criminal justice system is an old-fashioned virtue: telling the truth. Thomas Mowen, Ph.D., an associate professor of sociology and research affiliate of the Center for Family and Demographic Research at BGSU, published a study in the journal Deviant Behavior that examined whether lying behaviors—purposely being deceitful in an attempt to gain an advantage—actually worked in the criminal justice system.
