Topic 5: Psychology of Evidence 0 itemsPolice investigations rely on gathering sound, reliable evidence from witnesses. Sometimes, that evidence leads to the identification of a suspect, the production of a confession or remembered information that helps to build a case. These lectures will discuss the important issues to bear in mind when considering eyewitness memory, suspect identification and the interrogation of suspects. We will also refer to notable miscarriages of justice and highlight problems that may arise when things go wrong.
