Witness Identification provides an up-to-date review on identifying
crime perpetrators based on psychological theory and research.
Applying psychology to the area of criminal identification, the
authors make reference to relevant legislation such as the PACE
Codes of Practice as they explore the psychology involved in
identification.
This insightful and practical title will inform anyone interested
in this area. The authors outline the psychological information
relevant to constructing and delivering identification parades,
such as the point of view of the suspect and witness or victim, how
witnesses remember, and the factors likely to affect the accuracy
of person descriptions. They also consider the effects of
stereotypes and expectancies on identification performance, as well
as a discussion of the technologies involved in identification
procedure. The book includes a chapter on how to assist people who
are deemed vulnerable in order to elicit accurate identification
evidence. It also looks at other methods of identification in
addition to face identification, such as methods to identify a
person's voice and gait.
By providing an overview of legislation and guidelines to
conducting identity parades alongside a psychological underpinning,
this book is a valuable resource to anyone whose work involves
identification procedures, as well as students of psychology, law
and police studies.
