Lineup Presentation Method Simultaneously: all members are shown to the witness at once. Eyewitnesses tend to identify the person who, in their opinion, looks most like the culprit, relative to other members of the group (they make a relative judgment ). Sequential: lineup members shown sequentially, one at a time, in a procedure. The witness makes a decision about each lineup member before seeing the next one. Eyewitness compares each member to her memory of the perpetrator and decides whether any person in the lineup is the individual who committed the crime (they make an absolute judgment ).

More common than anticipated 2. Strong relationship with health outcome in later life (behavioural problem, neglect children more likely to commit violent crimes)
