Arguing for a need to modify investigatory and legal processes so that they align with the capabilities of witnesses and reflect the memorial and decision processes that inform recognition judgements, this book presents two radical alternative approaches that do not require witnesses to establish identity: non–categorical confidence and non–categorical similarity judgements.
Using empirical data, the authors explore the relationship between identification decisions, confidence judgements, and similarity judgements in lineup–based recognition tasks and consider whether similarity underpins the more complex judgements of identity and confidence. They also examine the practical utility of confidence and similarity judgements and consider how such alternatives might be conceived in a legal context. This book draws upon psychology and law to outline the key issues of identification and puts forward two new alternative approaches, calling for a revision in how we think about eyewitness evidence.
Prompting a consideration of new solutions and concepts to help witness errors become a problem of the past, The Psychology of Eyewitness Identification will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners across the fields of criminal justice, psychology, and law, and particularly those with a focus on eyewitness identification.
