对英国1039个真实证人的辨认结果进行了分析。近年来，联合王国的身份识别程序发生了巨大的变化。视频阵容现在是标准程序，每个阵容成员都是按顺序观看的。在证人可以做出决定之前，整个阵容要看两次，证人可以请求更多的阵容观看。这篇论文的一个主要目的是调查重复观看和目击者判断之间的关联。重复观看与填充物识别率的增加密切相关，这表明要求额外观看的目击者更愿意猜测。此外，其他几个因素也与指证结果有关，包括嫌疑人和证人之间的年龄差异、所犯罪行的类型以及延误。总体而言，嫌疑人识别率为39%，填充者识别率为26%，阵容拒绝率为35%。
Eyewitness identification decisions from 1,039 real lineups in England were analysed. Identification procedures have undergone dramatic change in the United Kingdom over recent years. Video lineups are now standard procedure, in which each lineup member is seen sequentially. The whole lineup is seen twice before the witness can make a decision, and the witness can request additional viewings of the lineup. A key aim of this paper was to investigate the association between repeated viewing and eyewitness decisions. Repeated viewing was strongly associated with increased filler identification rates, suggesting that witnesses who requested additional viewings were more willing to guess. In addition, several other factors were associated with lineup outcomes, including the age difference between the suspect and the witness, the type of crime committed, and delay. Overall, the suspect identification rate was 39%, the filler identification rate was 26% and the lineup rejection rate was 35%.
