- Criminological Practical
- Aim
- Investigate EW reliability by summarising two articles, applying research into EWT to explain the cases.
- Procedure
- Researched using internet cases involving EWT
- Rejected articles with insufficient detail on the EWT recall and details of the case
- Found two articles on EWT cases where witnesses may have recalled information incorrectly
- Read the articles, identifying different aspects of the EW behaviour and recall that could be caused by factors like weapon focus
- Noted key points, using EWT knowledge to apply to case
- Evaluated the research by identifying problems with the research ideas
- Findings
- EWT led to wrongful convictions of Jean Charles de Menezes
- Court and police procedures needs to be revised
- Explain how case is related to EWT factors
- Conclusions
- EWT found unreliable in two cases --> should be used w/ caution in court rooms
- Police be aware when questioning, avoid using leading questions
- Witnesses taken back to scene to use as state or context cues
