Preferred term

police lineup  

Definition

  • In a police lineup, the suspect is presented among a group of persons known to be innocent. The witness's or victim's task is to identify or not identify the suspect among the persons in the identification parade. The members of the line-up can be presented through photographs, video recordings or live (behind a one-way mirror). In a voice lineup, the suspect's voice is presented among the voices of innocent people.
