Psychic Detection: The Use of Psi in Criminal Investigation

Harvey Jon Irwin

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    This paper surveys the putative phenomenon of psychic detection, that is, the use of psi abilities in criminal investigation. Police attitudes to psychic insights into the solution to a crime, theories of the possible bases of successful psychic detection, and controlled scientific investigation of the efficacy of psychic detection are addressed. Although the empirical literature is not encouraging for the validity of the phenomenon, a constructive suggestion is made for further research.
