This clear and accessible volume provides a tutorial review and evaluation of scientific research on eyewitness identification accuracy and reliability. The book examines conceptual and empirical problems with eyewitness identification as forensic evidence, comparable to challenges with other forensic evidence forms. It explores key findings in eyewitness memory research and their implications for psychological theory and social and legal policy.
The book covers topics including measurement of eyewitness performance, eyewitness theory, social media's impact on identification, and technological approaches to investigating eyewitness reliability. The volume presents research on eyewitness identification as an exemplary case of psychological science successfully applied to real-world problems.
Featuring real-life case studies, this comprehensive text is essential reading for scholars and advanced students of forensic psychology, cognitive psychology and memory studies who seek to understand the complex relationship between memory processes and the criminal justice system.
