摘要 尽管心理学家敦促警察在调查过程中使用双盲排队程序,但警察表示,这些程序很难执行,而且大多数人不愿意实施这一改变。四项研究探讨了外行人对嫌疑人有罪的判断是否会根据案件的简短书面摘要将识别程序描述为双盲或非双盲而有所不同。影响都很小(而且几乎都不显着)。大多数人在评估被告有罪时,不会将双盲阵容与非双盲阵容区别对待。要么警察调查员应该停止使用这种有偏见的方法,要么警察调查员和司法系统中的其他人(例如陪审员、法官)在评估任何阵容的结果时应该被告知这种偏见。版权所有#2009 约翰威利父子公司。
SUMMARY Although psychologists have urgedpolice officers to use double blind line-up procedures during their investigations, police officers state that these would be difficult to administer and most have been reluctant to implement this change. Four studies examine whether lay people’s judgements about the guilt of a suspect vary according to whether a brief written summary of a case described the identification procedure as double blind or non-double blind. The effects were all small (and almost all non-significant). Most people do not treat double blind line-ups differently from non-double blind line-ups when assessing the guilt of a defendant. Either police investigators should stop using this biased method or police investigators and others in the judicial system (e.g. jurors, judges) should be informed of this bias when evaluating results from any line-up.
