Eyewitness Reliability in Motor Vehicle Crashes: A Primer for Practitioners, Second Edition

Description:

Eyewitnesses, especially in testimony, can be a mess. Two witnesses can contradict one another over the same accident scene. Some acquire post-event misinformation. And human memory, always unreliable, plays a crucial role. Now you can be prepared with this book, exploring all the fallible aspects of eyewitness testimony. You will learn how a jury evaluates eyewitness testimony on the basis of witness confidence and personality. This book teaches you to counteract this by knowing what questions to ask your witnesses to get the most accurate information, where to undermine the eyewitness testimony against you, and how to avoid the pitfalls of eyewitness evidence. Dr. Robins cites case studies, research, and seminar demonstrations that are both interesting and educational. By learning from one of the world's experts, you will make eyewitness testimony an asset to your case.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Eye is not a Camera, Memory is not a DVD

L.J.S. · February 22, 2012

This book is a good introduction to the problem of the confident, but mistaken, eyewitnesses, especially as it relates to memory for events. From here, a reader might go on to Loftus, Doyle, and Dysart's Eyewitness Testimony, or Sobel's Eyewitness Identification -- both treatises written for lawyers integrating the evolving science in this area and the law. For the non-lawyer, Vanderbilt's Traffic (2008) is a good place to go from here.The one problem with the second edition is that it is not very different from the first (published in 2001). Eyewitness memory and perception is a dynamic field -- the principles that Robins cites are sound and long established, but it would have been useful to see what had changed in the 10 years between editions. Instead the bulk of the sources in the text and references are unchanged, which might suggest to a reader that the field is stagnant rather than quite dynamic with new papers out every month.The sad part is that even in 2009, this information might not be familiar to even an experienced attorney, never mind to jurors and judges. As an intro, it is a good resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Useful

I purchased this book as an addition to my library on human factors relating to motor vehicle driving and eyewitness reliability issues. It is a useful summary of the factors involved that supplements more detailed texts and technical papers.
