Great article for anybody interested in studying forensic psychology. Dr. Christopher Cronin addresses the issue of forensic degrees, including what degree is best for employment within forensic psychology.
In a traditional lineup five or six people, including the police´s main suspect stand side by side while a witness looks on usually via a one-way mirror to see if they can identify anybody connected with the crime under investigation.
