Personal identification

The accuracy of an eyewitness is the essential part for the jurors’ decision making regarding a particular case. The jurors depends on the eyewitness for an accurate statement of the testimony that is being presented. There are many wrong convictions throughout the legal systems and many factors that comes into play, but the eyewitness has the highest percentage for wrong misidentification. Therefore, research has been done to help improved the accuracy of the witness testimony. The three best…

Eyewitness Identifications play a major role in convictions. However sometimes the reliability of an eyewitness identification can have questionable accuracy. With Eyewitnesses being wrong for as many as one in every four, they are still considered one of the primary pieces of evidence against a suspect. An Eyewitness in court Identifying a possible suspect is one of the most strongest pieces of evidence to convince a jury. The only thing that can convince a jury more then an individual actually…

Abstract Inattentional blindness (IB) has been a confounding phenomenon of the failures of visual awareness and memory for decades, leaving researchers to debate the extent to which individuals experience the inability to see the unattended. The present study examined the relationship between the effects of IB and expert testimony on the credibility of witnesses in the courtroom. Results indicate that regardless of the presence of expert testimony, the witness who saw the crime was rated…

For instance, the discrepancies in the male victim’s identification points out a major flaw in eye witness testimonies. This cause of error is inaccuracies presented by external factors such as bad eyesight, duration of observation of the perpetrator and circumstances of the location. The bad eyesight of a witness as seen in the case study can be the cause for uncertainty in the identification process. Factors of the crime could also present issues. If the witness only saw…

This article, written by Rose and Beck (2016), examine the accuracy of eyewitness identification and find out the physical distance from the crime which they witnessed as well as the length of time between witnessing the crime and successfully identify the perpetrator. Rose and Beck have found out that some researches have argued that false memory and advise can influence the result in people giving testimony about the crimes they have not eyewitnesses. Therefore, the primary aim of this study…

Fingerprints have been widely used throughout the world as means of identification for forensic purposes. Forensic experts have extensively relied on premises that fingerprint characteristics are highly discriminatory and immutable amongst the general population (Haber and Haber, 2008). Fingerprint formation is induced by the stresses and strains experienced by the fetus in utero, which are random and infinite, it is likely that they subsequently produce a random, infinite variety of friction…

RFID TECHNOLOGY Radio-frequency identification (RFID): RFID Technology is a wireless electromagnetic field that is used to transfer data, or to identify people or objective, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. RFID is very fast, reliable and does not require any physical sight or contact between reader and scanner and the tagged items. There are some tags contains electronically stored information. It refers to small electronic devices that…

Introduction RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is a rapidly expanding technology being utilized more and more in our daily life. This paper will explain the history, uses, benefits, obstacles and innovations of RFID. I will examine why it is being employed by so many industries and what can limit its expansion. RFID Background RFID types consist of either passive systems, which do not have an internal power source, or active systems, which have a power supply and can…

and silent but (metaphorically) deadly technological “predators” that are spreading quickly throughout humanity: RFID chips. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. RFID is a small piece of equipment that utilizes electromagnetic fields to transfer data between the chip and a receiving device. General RFID chips are a breach of personal privacy and should not be used in any circumstance that involves humans. RFID chips have two different forms: the…

Radio-frequency identification also known as RFID is the use of wireless technology that uses electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purpose of automatically identifying and tracking RFID tags that are attached to objects. The RFID tags will have information that is electronically stored. Some of the tags will be powered by an electromagnetic induction from magnetic fields that are produced near the readers. Certain RFID tags will collect energy from the reader’s radio waves and will…
