Sex Offenders to Take Lie Detector Tests

The video discusses the UK's initiative to use mandatory lie detector tests for sex offenders, highlighting a successful pilot program in the Midlands that reduced reoffending rates. Polygraph tests, which measure physiological responses, have an 85% accuracy rate. A demonstration shows how these tests detect lies. The tests will complement other measures like the sex offenders register to monitor released offenders. The program aims to test high-risk offenders every six months, aiding probation officers in managing offenders on license.
