Faces with a stereotypic criminal appearance are remembered better and identified more often than other faces according to past research. In the present project, a random sample of police lineups was evaluated using the mock witness paradigm to determine whether criminal appearance was associated with lineup choices. In Study 1, mock witnesses were either provided with a description of the culprit or they were not. Participants also self-reported why they had selected a given face. In Study 2, the line-up faces were rated with respect to criminal appearance, distinctiveness, typicality and physical similarity. Criminal appearance was the primary reason self reported for face selection in the no description condition. Mock witness choices in the no description condition were associated with only criminal appearance. When provided with a description, mock witnesses based their choice on the description. These findings are discussed in relation to lineup fairness. Copyright ? 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

机译：根据过去的研究，具有刻板印象的犯罪面孔的面孔比其他面孔更容易被记住和识别。在本项目中，使用模拟证人范式评估了警察阵容的随机样本，以确定犯罪分子的外貌是否与阵容选择相关。在研究1中，向假证人提供了对罪魁祸首的描述，或者没有。与会者还自我介绍了为什么选择了给定的面孔。在研究2中，对排队面孔的犯罪外观，独特性，典型性和身体相似性进行了评级。在没有描述的情况下，犯罪现场是自我报告选择面部表情的主要原因。在无描述条件下模拟证人的选择仅与犯罪现场有关。当提供描述时，模拟见证人将根据他们的选择进行选择。这些发现是关于阵容公平性的讨论。版权？ 2010 John Wiley＆Sons，Ltd.
