The only way for a witness to fail to notice a key part of the crime is if they closed their eyes, meaning that they would not have seen anything that happened.", "Not necessarily.

As a potential solution to the problems of misidentification, would it be acceptable to only show identity parades to witnesses that remember a lot of details about the crime?
[ "Yes, a witness who remembers a lot of details has a good memory, so would be more able to identify the perpetrator.", "Yes, as someone who does not provide a lot of details will not be able to remember the face of the perpetrator.", "Probably not, as there is no way of knowing whether the details provided by a witness are correct and it is normal not to remember a lot of detail.", "Probably not, a witness who remembers a lot of details will not have any room in their memory left for the face of the perpetrator." ]

Why would it be problematic to conduct an identification procedure by showing a witness a single photo of a suspect and asking them whether it is of the person they saw commit the crime?
[ "Because people need to ‘calibrate’ their memory by comparing several photos of different faces.", "This would not be a problem and is a quick and effective method of obtaining identification evidence.", "Photos can often look unlike the person they are of.", "If just one photo is shown, it is obvious to the witness that it is of the suspect, and so they may identify it because they know it is the person the police suspect." ]

Should the similarity of a facial composite (such as an E-FIT) to a suspect be used as evidence that they are the perpetrator of a crime?
[ "Yes, an eyewitness created the facial composite, so if it looks similar to someone, this is the same as the witness picking that person out of an identification parade.", "No, because creating a composite is very difficult as it relies on the witness recalling and describing the face. This means the image produced may only be a broad, type likeness of the perpetrator and so is likely to look similar to a large number of people.", "Yes, because the process of creating a facial composite avoids all the problems associated with eyewitness identification parades, such as leading questions and unfair construction.", "No, because facial composites are not based on the witness’s memory of what the perpetrator looks like." ]

To avoid influencing the witness, interviews should be limited to asking the witness to ‘describe what happened in your own words’. Would this be an effective method of obtaining evidence?
[ "No. Although it would avoid the risk of leading questions, a skilled interviewer can use open and focused questions to help the witness remember more information.", "No, because ‘describe what happened in your own words’ is itself a leading question.", "Yes, because any information remembered after providing an initial account will undoubtedly be inaccurate.", "Yes, it is simply not possible to ask any additional questions without influencing the memory of the witness." ]

If two witnesses provide detailed accounts that are almost identical, what is the most likely explanation?

Is it a problem for a police officer to ask a witness for specific information that they have not previously mentioned?
[ "Yes, because our memories are ‘suggestible’, which means that asking for specific information might cause us to alter our memory to incorporate that information, even if we did not remember it previously.", "No, it is not a problem and is an efficient means of obtaining information.", "No, providing information to a witness can ‘jog’ their memory.", "Yes, as our memory only has a limited capacity, providing new information causes us to forget existing information." ]

What is the difference between a system and an estimator variable?
[ "A system variable can be specified exactly, while it is only possible to guess as to the effect that an estimator variable might have.", "A system variable refers to an error made by a police officer, while an estimator variable is an error made by a witness guessing.", "System variables improve the reliability of eyewitness evidence, while estimator variables reduce reliability.", "A system variable is under the control of the criminal justice system (e.g. the police), but an estimator variable is not." ]

What effect is indicating to the witness that the perpetrator is in the line-up likely to have?
[ "They are more likely to say that the perpetrator is not present in the line-up.", "They are more likely to identify the perpetrator, but no more likely to make a misidentification.", "They are more likely to choose someone in the line-up, which increases the chances of them making a misidentification.", "They are more likely to say that they ‘don’t know’." ]

Why is it thought that presenting a lineup sequentially reduces the rate of misidentifications compared to simultaneous presentation?
[ "A sequential presentation means the witness can spend longer looking at the suspect.", "Seeing more than one face at a time can be distracting, meaning the witness does not get a good view of the suspect’s face in a simultaneous line-up.", "The images of the faces are much bigger when presented sequentially, and thus easier to see.", "Simultaneous presentation promotes relative judgements, leading the witness to select the face that is the best match to their memory of the perpetrator, even if it is not a particularly good match." ]
