Research on alcohol and witness memory has burgeoned over the last decade. However, most studies have tested participants at relatively low breath concentration (BAC) levels, unrepresentative of those encountered by officers in field. To examine how higher intoxication levels might impair for events faces, current research participants' ability to recall a mock crime elevated BAC (>.08%). The bar patrons (N = 138) were recorded before witnessing video-taped crime. Participants then...
This study investigated how different doses of alcohol affected eyewitness recall. Participants ( N = 126) were randomly assigned to three groups with blood concentration BAC ), either a control group (mean 0.00%, 42), lower dose 0.04%, 40), or higher 0.06%, 44). After consumption, participants witnessed movie mock crime and interviewed one week later. The main results showed that witnesses the intoxication level recalled fewer details compared level. amount consumed did not have an impact...

Summary Police commonly interview intoxicated suspects. This is concerning when suspects are innocent because intoxication often leads to a higher risk for impulsive decision making and reduces inhibition. However, the manner in which affects people's reporting of unethical or criminal actions carried out by themselves others unknown was thus addressed current study. Participants ( N = 116) were randomly assigned one six conditions based on 2 (transgression: self, other) × 3 (alcohol...
Regarding police procedures with alcohol-intoxicated witnesses, Swedish officers have previously reported inconsistent and subjective decisions when interviewing these potentially vulnerable witnesses. Most also highlighted the need for national policy guidelines aiding in conducting investigative interviews intoxicated The aims of two studies presented here were to investigate whether (1) officers' interview are attributable a lack research-based knowledge; (2) their decision interview, as...
Low-stakes crimes related to alcohol and/or drugs are common around the world, but research is lacking on police-suspect interactions of such crimes. A large proportion these suspects intoxicated during interrogations, and many may have substance use disorder, making them potentially vulnerable interrogative pressure. To address this lack knowledge, taxonomy interrogation methods framework (i.e., 60+ techniques classified into five domains) a classification question types (appropriate vs....
Alcohol-intoxicated witnesses to crimes are highly prevalent. Eyewitness testimony is crucial in criminal investigation, but there still very few studies on how alcohol affects witnesses’ memory. Most of the existing research consists experimental social drinkers carried out laboratories. In addition, law enforcement personnel lack knowledge and policy guidelines interview handle this potentially vulnerable witness group. This emerging field could improve by including a broader study...
