Discussion - The physical identification process in criminal investigations

3180 Discussion

The physical identification process in criminal investigations has been the subject of much scrutiny over the history of criminal investigations. Select one identification process (e.g., show-up, line-up, photo array, confirmatory, double blind, etc.) and review the positive and negative aspects for use. You may use a specific incident from a search of the Internet and discuss the methods that can be used to prevent and minimize misidentifications as well as the proposed methods to improve their use in a criminal prosecution.
