In this course, Dr. Carlson will present a broad overview of what scientific research has discovered about eyewitness identification, and the resulting best practices recommendations for police. 

Specifically, he will cover the essential findings regarding how eyewitness memory is affected by: (a) aspects of the crime (e.g., distance, lighting, cross-race effect, weapon focus effect) and (b) police interactions with the eyewitness, including the identification procedure (e.g., showups, lineups). Based on this research, there are currently nine core recommendations from the scientific field of eyewitness identification to police, and Dr. Carlson will cover each of these. He will include information about what eyewitness evidence is actually probative of suspect guilt versus innocence.
