ABSTRACT
An analysis of court cases has revealed that the mistaken identification of the wrong person by victims and witnesses of a crime is the single most common error leading to the arrest and conviction of innocent people [Wells et al. 2006]. Recognizing the role of mistaken identification in erroneous conviction, a growing number of states and police departments have reformed their eyewitness identification procedures. In this paper, we investigate a new procedural reform: the use of a virtual officer who does not know the identity of the suspect in the lineup and therefore cannot bias the witness toward false identification.

Virtual Human versus Human Administration of Photographic Lineups
One solution to mistaken identification by a crime's victims and eyewitnesses is to use a virtual officer to conduct identification procedures. Results from a study comparing a virtual officer with a live human investigator indicate that the virtual ...
