Identifying Ivan: Case Study in Legal Psychology

Willem A. Wagenaar

4.9/5 (15369 ratings)

Description:The author, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Leiden, gave evidence for the defense at the trial of John Demjanjuk in Jerusalem in 1987-88. Emphasizes that his main assertion at the trial was that the reliability of the witnesses who identified Demjanjuk as "Ivan the Terrible" of Treblinka forty years after the events could not be assessed because of the lack of scientific grounds for making such assessments. In fact, the Jerusalem court decided that expert evidence on identification problems was irrelevant, and based its judgment on other factors. Surveys the background to the trial, giving examples of cases, including war criminals, involving mistaken identification, and presents proposals for more accurate identification procedures. Introduction --The reliability of facial identifications --Rules for the conduct and interpretation of identity tests --The identification of John Demjanjuk --Violations of rules in Demjanjuk's identification --Ethical aspects of expert testimony.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
