The physical identification process in criminal investigations has been the subject of much scrutiny over the history of criminal investigations. Select one identification process (e.g., show-up, line-up, photo array, confirmatory, double blind, etc.) and review the positive and negative aspects for use. You may use a specific incident from a search of the Internet and discuss the methods that can be used to prevent and minimize misidentifications as well as the proposed methods to improve their use in a criminal prosecution.
