DESCRIPTION
This module will introduce students to psychological issues relating to eyewitnesses. These include theoretical and applied aspects of memory and suggestibility as well as consideration of methods of interviewing witnesses and their impact on accurate reporting of the crime in question. The issue of vulnerable groups is an important one in the context of eyewitness memory as vulnerability is often perceived as unreliability. Therefore, research into these perceptions, the reliability of testimony and interview techniques to enhance recall among such populations will be considered and evaluated.
