Racial bias in jury selection hurts mock jurors, not just defendants: Testing one potential intervention
OBJECTIVES: Prosecutors often use race as a basis for excluding Black jurors in cases with Black defendants. The current research tested whether this practice influences juror attitudes (Study 1). It also tested an intervention to prevent racially biased jury selection (Study 2). HYPOTHESES: We predicted that participants exposed to the exclusion of Black prospective jurors would have more negative feelings compared with those who were not expose…
Cowitness identification speed affects choices from target-absent photospreads
OBJECTIVE: Three studies examined the influence of a witness's identification speed on the identification decision of another witness. HYPOTHESES: Based on research documenting cowitness effects we expected cowitness speed to affect identification decisions from target-absent photospreads. Without prior research testing the effects of cowitness speed, we did not have a specific prediction regarding how fast (vs. slow) cowitness identification dec…
Policy and procedure recommendations for the collection and preservation of eyewitness identification evidence
OBJECTIVE: The Executive Committee of the American Psychology-Law Society (Division 41 of the American Psychological Association) appointed a subcommittee to update the influential 1998 scientific review paper on guidelines for eyewitness identification procedures. METHOD: This was a collaborative effort by six senior eyewitness researchers, who all participated in the writing process. Feedback from members of AP-LS and the legal communities was …
Eyewitness-identification decisions as Brady material: Disclosing information about prior decisions affects evaluations of eyewitnesses
The eyewitness post identification feedback effect 15 years later: Theoretical and policy implications
Eyewitnesses' retrospective reports of certainty, view, attention, and other judgments constitute central variables used by courts to assess the credibility of eyewitness identification evidence. Recently, important state Supreme Court decisions (e.g., New Jersey v. Henderson, 2011; Oregon v. Lawson, 2012) have relied on psychological research regarding the post-identification feedback effect to revamp their assumptions about when witness retrosp…
