Forensic Facial Identification Theory and Practice of Identification from Eyewitnesses, Composites and Cctv

"A superb edited volume... Forensic Facial Identification should be applauded for its heroic efforts to offer society a true sense of security. Hopefully its messages will be read by many who care about fairness, and how psychological science can help us achieve it." Elizabeth F. Loftus, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Irvine

"A broad view of contemporary eyewitness research in both traditional and emerging areas. The international cast of contributors particularly highlights the interplay between law and research across countries - with lessons for all." Steven D. Penrod, Distinguished Professor, John Jay College of Criminal Justice
 
"At an age where we are relying more than ever on facial identification to ensure public safety this volume represents an important milestone in ensuring our decisions are informed by the latest developments in technology and science. International experts provide practitioners with an exhaustive review of the tools needed to identify and investigate cases relying on facial identification be they terror suspects or victims of disaster. What is unique about this book is that experts are encouraged to learn from mistakes made in the past and to equip themselves with theory and science to enable them to best use identification evidence to avoid miscarriages of justice. An outstanding contribution to the field." Amina Memon, Professor of Psychology, Royal Holloway University of London
