Summary Introduction

Introduction

Police have been using lineups in order for eyewitnesses to identify suspected criminals for many years. Unfortunately, these lineup are sometimes flawed and lead to witnesses identifying incorrect suspects. In order to be both fair and accurate, the lineup should include suspects and foils of similar age, race, and other physical characteristics. In addition, it is recommended that the police officer administering the lineup should not know who the actual suspect is, as opposed to the foils. This is to prevent the officer accidentally (or intentionally) “leading” the witness toward the correct choice.
