Eyewitness Accuracy Although most people would not deliberately give a false identification, false identification is not uncommon when eyewitnesses watch a lineup 'waiting. This can happen for several reasons. A witness may be confused or there may be a memory error. The pressure they feel to make an identification may cause the witness to not notice that the attacker is not even in the lineup. Knowing this company, one must look for ways to correct or minimize this problem. The concern over unintended influence on a witness is not a new issue facing the justice system and police forces. However, there is no easy answer to this question. It is not always clear what influences an eyewitness or what makes them feel pressured. This study examines how inaccurate information provided by a lineup administrator can affect witness accuracy. Current research shows that the queue administrator's attire can lead to a higher feeling of pressure to make a choice and lower accuracy even if the target is present. in alignment (Lowenstein, Blank and Sauer, 2010). Many people have an internalized (and not always conscious) need to please authority figures. Making a correct choice can provide the personal satisfaction of feeling that one has made the correct answer. The Lowenstein study shows how this need can lead a person to react to the presence of a uniform by having to do “the right thing,” to appease authority and receive the self-satisfaction of having stopped the criminal. Another factor is social pressure and need. to conform or integrate. Human instinct separates those around a person into “us” or “them” and unconsciously the brain fears that not being and “us” poses a risk.
