There is major national and community interest in the successful conduct of criminal investigations. This research addresses the accuracy of eyewitness identification tests. Specifically, we investigate whether developing lineup procedures that separate out witnesses who are unsure of their response will prevent erroneous identifications. Progress on this issue makes an important contribution to decisions about the ideal lineup procedure, thereby preventing innocent people from being prosecuted and perpetrators being free to re-offend. Additionally the international collaboration on the project will increase the visibility of Australian social science research and provide crucial development opportunities for young Australian scientists.

在成功进行刑事调查中，国家和社区兴趣很大。这项研究涉及目击者识别测试的准确性。具体而言，我们调查开发阵容程序是否将不确定其反应的证人分开是否会阻止错误的身份。这个问题的进展为关于理想阵容程序的决策做出了重要贡献，从而防止无辜者受到起诉，肇事者可以自由重新犯罪。此外，该项目的国际合作将提高澳大利亚社会科学研究的知名度，并为年轻的澳大利亚科学家提供重要的发展机会。
