BBC 17/2/2025 News Multiple independent lineups: a procedure for corroborating eyewitness identification evidence in children Child eyewitnesses exhibit problematic choosing on police lineups at a higher rate than adults (Fitzgerald, R. J., & Price, H. L. [2015]. Eyewitness identification across the life span: A meta-analysis of age differences. Psychological Bulletin, 141(6), 1228–1265), which is an issue as mistaken eyewitness testimony is a leading cause of wrongful convictions (National Registry of Exonerations. [2019]. Exoneration reports. National Registry of Exonerations. http://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/about.aspx). This study examined a novel eyewitness reflector variable to use with children, the multiple independent lineup technique, to assess the likelihood of guilt. A total of 486 children (60% male, 39% female, and 1% other; Mage = 8.59) witnessed a live event and, the following day, engaged in a lineup identification task (i.e. single simultaneous face lineup or the multiple independent lineup technique). Largely, the results found support for the multiple independent lineup technique to help infer the likelihood of guilt. Specifically, the number of lineup decisions made could infer the likelihood of facial identification guilt. Interestingly, children of all ages performed similarly on the multiple independent lineup technique. The results also revealed that facial identification responses are similar between the two lineup conditions (i.e. single simultaneous lineup and multiple independent lineup technique). Overall, the multiple independent lineup technique is a simplistic tool that could provide legal decision-makers with additional information to help infer the likelihood of suspect guilt.
