Abstract
This chapter reviews concepts of forensic mental health assessment that are relevant to eyewitness identification. It first provides an overview of the legal context in which eyewitness expert testimony is proffered and delivered before turning to a discussion of key psychological concepts in eyewitness identification and the relevant psychological research on eyewitness identification to date. It then considers forensic constructs relevant to identification of eyewitnesses, including the accuracy of eyewitness identification, general impairment factors, identification tests, and suspect bias factors. It also outlines the empirical foundations and limitations of evaluations for eyewitness identification as well as the steps involved in conducting an evaluation. Finally, the chapter outlines key aspects of report writing and testimony concerning evaluations for eyewitness identification.
