Answer to Question 1

Answer: Eyewitness misidentification is much more common than previously understood. Law enforcement officers can also cause misidentifications by suggestive words or conduct. The average witness, anxious to make an identification and influenced by the police officer's image as an authority figure, tends to be very sensitive to any suggestion made by the police regarding the identity of the perpetrator. Officers may, intentionally or unintentionally, convey to the witness by words or conduct that a particular person being viewed is the perpetrator. Officers must be trained and adhere to proper identification procedures.
