My current research interests are in eyewitness identification, eyewitness memory and related areas of face recognition. The transformation of the science into public / law enforcement policy has become an important
extension of my work. The contrasts and relationships between the two knowledge systems - customary knowledge and scientific knowledge - has become more interesting (and more troublesome) in my thinking about the psychology / law interface.
