Psychological research has made substantial contributions to the development of investigative interviewing and our understanding of eyewitness identification. Professor Ray Bull will review research on police interviews and the influence of interview skills on eliciting confessions. Witnesses may be formally interviewed some considerable time after the relevant event. Dr Fiona Gabbert will evaluate self-administered interviews, which have potential to improve the accuracy of eyewitness testimony by establishing a record as soon as possible. The frailties of eyewitness identification have long been recognised by the legal system. Initially CCTV appeared to offer a new technological solution to identifying offenders. Dr Josh Davis will review evidence of human error in matching unfamiliar faces from CCTV. The potential for comparison of facial shape to support facial identification from CCTV will also be discussed. For over 100 years identification of offenders from latent fingerprints at a crime scene has been presented in court as being infallible. Dr Itiel Dror will discuss human error by fingerprint experts, and present important new research that fingerprint experts can be influenced by the context of an investigation. Professor Valentine will act as discussant to draw together these themes and evaluate current trends in investigative interviewing and eyewitness identification.
