Improving eyewitness identification accuracy using free-report lineups

成功地进行刑事调查关系到国家和社区的重大利益。这项研究解决了目击者鉴定测试的准确性。具体来说，我们调查是否制定阵容程序，分离出证人谁是不确定他们的反应将防止错误的识别。在这一问题上取得的进展对就理想的列队指认程序作出决定作出了重要贡献，从而防止无辜者受到起诉，防止犯罪者再次犯罪。此外，该项目的国际合作将提高澳大利亚社会科学研究的知名度，并为澳大利亚年轻科学家提供重要的发展机会。

There is major national and community interest in the successful conduct of criminal investigations. This research addresses the accuracy of eyewitness identification tests. Specifically, we investigate whether developing lineup procedures that separate out witnesses who are unsure of their response will prevent erroneous identifications. Progress on this issue makes an important contribution to decisions about the ideal lineup procedure, thereby preventing innocent people from being prosecuted and perpetrators being free to re-offend. Additionally the international collaboration on the project will increase the visibility of Australian social science research and provide crucial development opportunities for young Australian scientists.
