Extract
The June, 1986 issue of Law and Human Behavior was devoted to the topic of expert psychological testimony about eyewitness memory, a relatively new phenomenon at the time. Topics of the articles in the special issue included historical and legal perspectives on expert testimony, the role of the expert, the ethics of expert testimony, the effects of expert testimony on jurors, and the external validity of the research upon which the expert testimony is based. It has been over 20 years since that special issue was published, and much has happened in the interim, including the following:
...
The confluence of these events supports the need for a fresh look at issues surrounding expert testimony on eyewitness identification. The aim of this volume, therefore, is to provide a thorough update and expansion of the topics addressed in the 1986 special issue of Law and Human Behavior. This volume well-exceeds the special issue in breadth and depth. The cast of authors has changed by nearly 100%. Indeed, only one author (Ebbe Ebbesen) will have served as an author in both the special issue and this volume. The current authors include well-established eyewitness scholars, many of whom also have considerable experience as expert witnesses. Some of the authors were active in research at the time of the 1986 special issue. The authors also include seasoned practicing attorneys who have had very significant experience with eyewitnesses and expert witnesses. Some of the authors are credentialed in both Psychology and Law. And some of the authors are from the newest generation of scholars, who can provide future leadership in research on these and other important topics and phenomena. In sum, we bring a wide range of perspectives to this volume.
