I study memory in the legal system.
With colleagues from around the world, I investigate and advise on methods to improve the accuracy of rape complainant statements and testimony, collaborate with rape survivors to document and preserve memory evidence; and develop novel lineup procedures to increase the accuracy and reliability of eyewitness identification.
To find out more, read my articles and blog, and get in touch.

How the past sexual behaviour of rape complainants has nothing to do with false rape accusations
-
How to improve accuracy in other race/ethnicity identifications
-
The prevalence of alcohol and other drugs among witnesses and defendants in violent crimes
-
How lineup identification ability develops from childhood to adolescence
-
How eyewitness attention and memory are affected by the presence of a weapon during a crime

-
How eyewitness/victim memory influences prosecutorial decision making in cases like rape
