Identification of the areaForensic psychology is the field of psychology linked to the resolution of problems that have a direct relationship with the law and the courts and as such it is the field that can be considered the most qualified to answer the question of whether eyewitness identifications can be reliable or not. To fully understand the ways in which eyewitness reliability is assessed and improved, we can narrow our focus to two areas within forensic psychology that are most related to the issue at hand. The first of these is examining the accuracy of information provided by a witness. ensure that they are providing correct information about their personal experience related to the case and not just repeated facts that they have heard or have been told without any basis for those facts and the second is the establishment of methods to jointly extract pure and reliable information from witnesses these factors will allow us to see how forensic psychology can and has been applied to the legal system and, even more specifically, whether eyewitness identifications are reliable? Factor 1 The nature of the courts however is to protect society in order to achieve this objective when a person is accused of having committed a serious crime it is necessary that all evidence brought to prove both their innocence and/or their guilt is examined to ensure that they are not falsified in any way and as such when dealing with more subjective evidence such as witness memory any external influences that have manipulated the witness' memory can be called into question.

Both groups gave different explanations, and the control group labeled the lack of forensic evidence as the reason for a not guilty verdict, while the experimental group labeled the lack of accurate eyewitness testimony due to a flaw found using Method II -Eye. The article also lists two other experiments performed to test the effectiveness of the II-Eye that showed similar results. These two articles show the ways in which forensic psychology has been used to find ways to improve the reliability of eyewitness identification through two different psychologist-created methods, one of which is to teach juries and legal professionals how effectively evaluate the testimony of eyewitnesses and each other by improving the memory of eyewitnesses themselves, creating a more just and accurate criminal justice system.
