Abstract

We will discuss an interactive activity that allows students to utilize introductory statistical techniques to assess the reliability of eyewitness testimony. Students are shown a video of a crime and are asked to recall specific details pertaining to the crime. Students then apply appropriate statistical techniques on the data collected in order to ascertain whether or not eye-witness testimony can be viewed as being reliable.
