The Handbook of Eyewitness Psychology presents a survey of research
and legal opinions from international experts on the rapidly
expanding scientific literature addressing the accuracy and
limitations of eyewitnesses as a source of evidence for the courts.
For the first time, extensive reviews of factors influencing
witnesses of all ages - children, adults, and the elderly - are
compiled in a single pair of volumes. The disparate research
currently being conducted in eyewitness memory in psychology,
criminal justice, and legal studies is coherently presented in this
work. Volume 1 covers memory for events. Volume 2 cover memory for
people.

Methods, Measures, and Theories in Eyewitness Recognition Tasks
provides a comprehensive review of the fundamental issues
surrounding eyewitness recognition phenomena alongside suggestions
for developing a more methodologically rigorous eyewitness science.
Over the past 40 years, the field of eyewitness science has seen
substantial advancement in eyewitness identification procedures,
yet theoretical and methodological developments have fallen behind.
Featuring contributions from prominent international scholars, this
book examines methodological and theoretical limitations and
explores important topics, including how to increase the accuracy
of identifying perpetrators when using CCTV images, how to create
more identifiable facial composites, and the differences in
accuracy between younger and older eyewitnesses. Providing in-depth
discussion on the limitations of traditional lineups, eyewitness
memory fallibility, and the complications that arise when using
laboratory simulations, along with suggestions for new methods,
this book will be an invaluable resource for researchers in
eyewitness recognition, lawyers, players in the criminal justice
system, members of innocence commissions, and researchers with
interests in cognitive psychology.
The majority of research on eyewitness memory has traditionally
studied children and young adults. By contrast, this volume is
designed to provide an overview of empirical research on the
cognitive, social, and health related factors that impact the
accuracy of eyewitness testimony given by the elderly. The book
takes a lifespan developmental perspective that incorporates
research on witnesses of all ages, but uses the findings to focus
on issues unique to the elderly. This includes research on
recognition memory with lineup identifications and recall memory
that occurs when an elderly witness is asked to describe an event
in court. The Elderly Eyewitness also examines jurors' reactions to
the testimony of an elderly witness, and the legal and social
policy issues that emerge when the elderly witness participate in
legal proceedings. While reviewing what is known about the elderly
witness, the book also provides a direction for future research
into this new frontier of scientific inquiry. Its audience spans
researchers in cognitive and developmental psychology, and
professionals working in the growing area of psychology and law.

"The Handbook of Eyewitness Psychology "presents a survey of
research and legal opinions from international experts on the
rapidly expanding scientific literature addressing the accuracy and
limitations of eyewitnesses as a source of evidence for the courts.
For the first time, extensive reviews of factors influencing
witnesses of all ages-children, adults, and the elderly-are
compiled in a single pair of volumes. The disparate research
currently being conducted in eyewitness memory in psychology,
criminal justice, and legal studies is coherently presented in this
work.
Controversial topics such as the use of hypnosis, false and
recovered memories, the impact of stress, and the accuracy of
psychologically impaired witnesses are expertly examined. Leading
eyewitness researchers also discuss the subjects of conversational
memory, alibi evidence, witness credibility, facial memory,
earwitness testimony, lineup theory, and expert testimony. The
impact of witness testimony in court is considered, and each volume
concludes with a legal commentary chapter.
"The Handbook of Eyewitness Psychology "is an invaluable aid to
researchers, legal scholars, and practicing lawyers who need access
to the most recent research in the field, accompanied by the
interpretations and commentary of many of the world's leading
authorities on these topics.

This volume grew out of a 1985 American Psychological Association
symposium that was devoted to the issue of children's eyewitness
testimony. The symposium itself was organized in response to a
growing concern among professionals over the limited state of
knowledge about the reliability and validity of children's eye-
witness and earwitness memory and jurors' implicit beliefs about
this. Increas- ingly, the courts are calling upon young children to
provide testimony in an ever-widening range of cases, including
capital offenses. As state after state aban- dons its rules
requiring children's testimony to be corroborated by a third party,
the need to learn more about factors that might influence the
accuracy of chil- dren's recollections becomes increasingly acute.
This volume comprises a collection of chapters that lie at the
crossroads of psy- chology and criminal justice. All of the
chapters deal with children's recollec- tions, at least in some
fashion. Some authors have described research involving children's
recollections under emotionally neutral circumstances (e.g., Ceci,
Ross, and Toglia; King and Yuille; Zaragoza); others have made the
most of naturally occurring stressful situations, such as trips to
the dentist's office or to the hospital to have blood work done
(Peters; Goodman, Aman, and Hirschman).
Perspectives on Children's Testimony presents current empirical
research on the factors which influence adults' perceptions of the
child witness. This volume provides researchers in both the
psychological and the criminal justice communities with knowledge
about adult beliefs regarding child witnesses, how these beliefs
may influence jury verdicts, and the relationship of these
perceptions to the credibility and accuracy of children's
testimony. A variety of new techniques are employed in assessing
adult views of child witnesses. Special features of the volume
include: an in-depth treatment of techniques of interviewing child
victims of sexual abuse, an examination of children's perceptions
and knowledge of the legal system, and critical and theoretical
integrations of the original, empirical papers.

Adult Eyewitness Testimony provides an overview of current empirical research on eyewitness testimony and identification accuracy, covering both theory and application. The volume is organized to address three important issues: First, what are the cognitive, social, and physical factors that influence the accuracy of eyewitness reports? Second, how should lineups be constructed and verbal testimony be taken to improve the chances of obtaining accurate information? And third, whose testimony should be believed? Are there differences between accurate and inaccurate witnesses, and can jurors make such a distinction? Adult Eyewitness Testimony is crucial reading for memory researchers, as well as police officers, judges, lawyers, and other members of the judicial system. It will also be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate-level courses in applied social or cognitive psychology, criminal justice and forensics.
