Then, write a paper that addresses and incorporates the following:  

- Explain whether eyewitness testimony can be trusted or not.  Give examples.  Support your examples with scholarly resources (properly cited and referenced in APA format).

- Describe the ways in which diversity can impact the reliability of eyewitness testimony.  Support your writing with research.

- Identify several ways to improve the validity and/or reliability of eyewitness testimony.  Provide evidence-based resources (properly cited and referenced in APA format) to support your ideas.

-How might culture impact eyewitness testimonies?

Hint: think about the ways in which culture impacts eye movement, information processing and recall of information. If eyewitness testimonies are unreliable why do we use them in police reports and police line-ups?  Properly formatted cover page using APA format 7th Edition
