Summary
"The goals of this study were to examine the extent to which photo array presentation methods and their outcomes (pick types) were associated with case dispositions (adjudicated guilty or not) across the three field sites, as well as evidentiary strength as rated by police investigators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges in Austin, Texas. The latter is particularly important as these criminal justice practitioners are responsible for interpreting evidence and facilitating outcomes for the more than 90% of cases that are adjudicated without juries; primarily, those cases that result in plea deals or, on occasion, bench trials."--Executive Summary.
