Question

A crime is committed. The victim describes the culprit as a white male. Police perform a lineup for the victim. In the lineup, there are six men: four are African American, one is of Asian descent, and the last is a white man. What is wrong with how this lineup was performed in terms of what we know about memory?

Answer 1

The line up should consist of all white men if the description was a white man.

Answer 2

4 are African American. Even though the victim SAID it was a white male, they still brought in people of color. The Asian descent....seems okay? But the one white man? No way. This is awfully of a police force. It's sad to know this happens.
