Abstract or Description

In the UK, there have been an increasing number of children being
asked to give evidence as witnesses in criminal cases and view
video line-ups to identify perpetrators. However, little research has
investigated how well children perform using this type of identification
procedure. In this study, 68 children aged 13–14 years
witnessed a staged event, where an unfamiliar man (target) interrupted
a class. Following a delay of several days, the children were
presented with a video parade or photographic lineup. In a second
study, we examined the effects of a change in the target’s
appearance (hairstyle) on identification. The forensic implications
of the results are discussed.
