PETALING JAYA: Criminology practitioner Datuk Sri Akhbar Satar has hit out at armchair academicians who cast aspersions on polygraph tests, saying the method could help rule out suspects, including perverts.

He said it was unfair and unbecoming of academics to make comments without carrying out an in-depth analysis into the subject matter.
