KEY-HOLE SHOT – the tumbling of a bullet in its
flight and hitting the target sideways as a result of
not spinning on its axis. This results in firing a
bullet through a badly worn out barrel.

KINESICS – the relationship between body language
(limb movements, facial expressions, etc.) and the
communication of feelings and attitudes.

KLEPTOMANIAC – compulsive thief; one who
continues to involve in thefts of items because of
an irresistible, persistent, and abnormal impulse or
tendency to steal.

KYMOGRAPH – is the chart recording unit of the
polygraph instrument. It has a synchronized motor
that drives the charts at the rate of six inches per
minute and its speed constant is vital because the
vertical lines, which are spaced either at one-half
or one inch interval, represents five or ten seconds
interval on the chart. This provides the
polygraphist with a means of determining pulse
rater and question spacing.
