:Using diagnostic-feature-detection theory to maximise eyewitness identification accuracyIdentification parades are routinely administered by police forces globally to determine whether a witness identifies the police suspect as the perpetrator of a crime. During a parade, a witness views images of the suspect and others who resemble the suspect, called fillers. Worldwide, legal guidance on constructing parades uses the same central principle-the fillers should be plausible alternatives so that the parade is fair to the suspect (e.g., UK Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, Code D, 2017). Yet, even when constructing legally 'fair' parades, fillers can vary in similarity to the suspect. Currently, there is no evidence-based direction for identification officers on optimal filler similarity. The research aims to determine how identification officers in the UK and internationally should select fillers, so that the parade is fair to the suspect (i.e., the suspect does not unduly stand out from the fillers), and maximises witness accuracy. It will do this by testing the newest psychological theory that makes predictions about the effect of filler similarity on witness accuracy-the diagnostic-feature-detection theory (Wixted & Mickes, 2014)-and by collaborating with the National VIPER Bureau, the UK's leading video identification service owned and managed by The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire. The project incorporates expert input from VIPER and their subscribers (police forces) to test real-world procedures in experiments and collect real-world data on parade similarity. The research will answer important theoretical and practical questions, and has been co-developed with the Director of VIPER, Mr Wayne Collins.

：利用诊断特征检测理论最大限度地提高目击者识别的准确性全球警察部队通常会进行识别游行，以确定目击者是否将警察嫌疑人识别为犯罪者。在游行过程中，目击者会看到嫌疑人以及其他与嫌疑人相似的人的图像，这些图像被称为“填充物”。在世界范围内，关于构建游行的法律指导使用相同的中心原则——填充物应该是合理的替代品，以便游行对嫌疑人公平（例如，英国警察和刑事证据法 1984 年，代码 D，2017 年）。然而，即使在构建合法的“公平”游行时，填充者与嫌疑人的相似性也可能有所不同。目前，对于最佳填充物相似性，鉴定人员还没有基于证据的指导。该研究旨在确定英国和国际上的身份识别官员应如何选择填充物，以便游行对嫌疑人公平（即嫌疑人不会在填充物中过分突出），并最大限度地提高证人的准确性。它将通过测试最新的心理学理论（诊断特征检测理论（Wixted & Mickes，2014））并与英国领先的国家 VIPER 局合作来实现这一目标，该理论预测填充物相似性对证人准确性的影响。视频识别服务由西约克郡警察和犯罪专员办公室拥有和管理。该项目结合了 VIPER 及其订阅者（警察部队）的专家意见，在实验中测试真实世界的程序并收集有关游行相似性的真实世界数据。该研究将回答重要的理论和实践问题，是与 VIPER 主任 Wayne Collins 先生共同开发的。
