Do All Witnesses Remember the Same Details at a Crime Scene?

CSEF · 2009 Cognitive Science (Junior Division Only)

Sean M. Ward · Newhall Elementary School, Newhall, Los Angeles County

Overview

Objectives/Goals To find if witnesses are useful during an actual crime scene. Methods/Materials You will need a journal, witnesses, set-up scenes, and a camera(optional). Results The responses were very accurate and crazy at the same time, some responses were exact and some were off. Conclusions/Discussion At the end of the project, I concluded that eye witnesses are not always the best witnesses.

Summary statement

After setting up a scene, we asked the witnesses what they saw during an event.
