◆新しい研究によれば、目撃者がインタラクティブな方法を使用してデジタルの顔を探索できると、警察が使用している従来の手法に比べて犯人の特定能力が大幅に向上します。このインタラクティブなラインナップは、目撃者に3Dのデジタル顔を提示し、角度を変えて表示できるため、目撃者は積極的に顔を調べて記憶と一致させやすくなります。
◆この手法は、犯人の正確な特定を向上させ、誤った特定を減少させます。写真やビデオに比べて、正確性が大幅に向上し、誤った特定が減少する可能性があり、刑事捜査と法廷手続きにおいてより公正な結果をもたらす可能性があります。

Significance

Incorrect lineup identification decisions have devastating consequences on the wrongfully accused and for society when guilty perpetrators remain at large. This paper heeds the call by the National Academy of Sciences to utilize technology to increase correct identifications and minimize incorrect identifications. We found that the simultaneous interactive lineup procedure, which allows witnesses to actively explore the lineup members’ faces, increases discriminability compared to traditionally used video and simultaneous photo lineups. Interactive lineups were beneficial regardless of perpetrator encoding viewpoint (i.e., front or profile). In the real world, eyewitnesses may view a perpetrator from multiple perspectives. The interactive procedure allows witnesses to adjust face viewpoints to match their memory of the crime, which may be beneficial for memory retrieval.

Abstract

Accurate witness identification is a cornerstone of police inquiries and national security investigations. However, witnesses can make errors. We experimentally tested whether an interactive lineup, a recently introduced procedure that enables witnesses to dynamically view and explore faces from different angles, improves the rate at which witnesses identify guilty over innocent suspects compared to procedures traditionally used by law enforcement. Participants encoded 12 target faces, either from the front or in profile view, and then attempted to identify the targets from 12 lineups, half of which were target present and the other half target absent. Participants were randomly assigned to a lineup condition: simultaneous interactive, simultaneous photo, or sequential video. In the front-encoding and profile-encoding conditions, Receiver Operating Characteristics analysis indicated that discriminability was higher in interactive compared to both photo and video lineups, demonstrating the benefit of actively exploring the lineup members’ faces. Signal-detection modeling suggested interactive lineups increase discriminability because they afford the witness the opportunity to view more diagnostic features such that the nondiagnostic features play a proportionally lesser role. These findings suggest that eyewitness errors can be reduced using interactive lineups because they create retrieval conditions that enable witnesses to actively explore faces and more effectively sample features.
