Question

The police have arrested a suspect in an assault case and the victim has agreed to look at a lineup to see if he can identify the person who attacked him. Gary, a police psychologist, is advising the detectives on the most accurate way to put together a lineup. What should he recommend that they use?

Answer 1

Answer: Sequential Lineup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simultaneous and sequential are the two types of lineups to be presented to witnesses of a crime. Traditionally, the simultaneous lineup presentation was the one applied by investigators, meaning witnesses were shown all the members of the lineup at the same time.

However, research has suggested that sequential lineups (showing the lineup members one by one) leads to less false selections than simultaneous lineups.
