Academic Presentation on Eyewitness Identification: The State of the Field and Best Practices for Police

Friday, September 4, 2026 11:30am to 12:30pm CDT
Virtual Event

In this talk for attorneys and police, Dr. Carlson will present a broad overview of what scientific research has discovered about eyewitness identification and the resulting best-practice recommendations for police. Specifically, he will cover the essential findings regarding how eyewitness memory is affected by: (a) aspects of the crime (e.g., distance, lighting, cross-race effect, weapon focus effect) and (b) police interactions with the eyewitness, including the identification procedure (e.g., showups, lineups). Based on this research, there are currently nine core recommendations from the scientific field of eyewitness identification to police, which will all be covered. He will include information about what eyewitness evidence is actually probative of suspect guilt versus innocence. Lastly, if time permits, he will cover some research on how juries interpret eyewitness evidence.
