way witnesses choose the suspect in a lineup. A lineup is a course of action performed by law enforcement personnel designed to give the witness an opportunity to identify the suspect. Identified are three different types of lineups used in identifying the person committing the crime. Physical, field and photographic are identified as the types of lineups used by law enforcement to identify the criminal. The first type of the lineups, known as the physical lineup, effectively helps an investigation

Eyewitness identification and testimony play a huge role in the criminal justice system today, but skepticism of eyewitnesses has been growing. Forensic evidence has been used to undermine the reliability of eyewitness testimony, and the leading cause of false convictions in the United States is due to misidentifications by eyewitnesses. The role of eyewitness testimony in producing false confessions and the factors that contribute to the unreliability of these eyewitness testimonies are sending

al. (2016) Introduction: Cochran et al (2016) provide a case study analysis of the temporal nature of memory in suspect lineups and crimes being investigated by law enforcement. The study involves a longitudinal evaluation of participants that are given evidence of a crime (through slideshows) that allows them to ascertain the criminal act or to choose a suspect in a lineup. At a later time, the participants are given altered information on the crime, which revealed a greatly distorted memory of

all calm down,” Andrew said, everyone listened as Detective Walker explained why he was there. “We’re holding a suspect in the murder of the man found out on the highway, and believe there is a connection to Mrs. Barnes’s kidnapping. We’ll have a lineup tomorrow.” Detective Walker, paused and looked around before he continued, “I found a pendant. Do you recognize it?” He asked, removing the pendant from the envelope and held it in his hand. Rushing over, grabbing it, Ashley screamed, “That’s the

I was raised by my grandparents who had many rules and taught me that it would be disrespectful not to follow them, so it was hard for me to complete the three deviant acts to write this paper. I have spent my life following social norms to the best of my ability, even ones that seems absurd to me. The object of this assignment frightened the heck out of me and I truly wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to complete it. The unspoken rule that I chose to break was the infamous ‘standing in a line

Unfair police lineups have become a rising issue in the American criminal justice system in recent years. More specifically, unfair police lineups have made witnesses and victims more susceptible to confuse innocent and guilty suspects in a criminal trial. There is a series of research and experimental research that has been done on this topic in recent years that have proven this hypothesis to hold true in many cases. Some research suggests that often times, the witness or identifier on the stand

Furthermore, witnesses can distort their own memories without the help of examiners, police officers or lawyers." (STANFORD JOURNAL). Our memory can be affected by us

It doesn’t matter where I am; who I’m with; what I do, people will still call me with those words instead of my name. I do not say that I am ashamed of my culture or who I am but I just get tired of how society, giving and calling me by the labels, the labels built from their own stereotypes and racial discriminations. And here’s how my life has been filled with racism and

It has been 2 days since the Jacuzzi incident between me and Connor. Connor has been acting like he is a little agitated with me. It has also been a week and four days since I last walked through the doors of Dogwood High though. (a.k.a hell on Earth.) I walked through the front doors of the school a little later in the evening. Everyone looked at me like they thought I disappeared or something, I guess no one told them what happened to me. Connor avoids me during school so no one knows what’s
