问题    Recent legal research indicated that incorrect identification is a major factor in many miscarriages of justices. It also suggests that identification of people by witnesses in courtroom is not as  21  as commonly believed. Recent studies do not support the degree of judges, jurors, lawyers and the police have in eyewitness evidence.
The Law Commission recently published an educational paper, "Total Recall? The Reliability of Witness  22  ", as a companion guide to a proposed code of evidence. The paper finds that commonly held perceptions about how our minds work and how well we remember are often wrong. But while human memory is  23  change, it should not be underestimated.
In court witnesses are asked to give evidence about events, and judges and juries assess its Fallibility. The paper points out that memory is complex, and reliability of any person’s recall must be assessed  24  .
Both common sense and research say memory declines over time. The accuracy of recall and recognition are  25  their best immediately after encoding the information, declining at first rapidly, then gradually. The longer the delay, the more likely it is that information obtained after the event will interfere  26  the original memory, which reduces accuracy.
The paper says  27  interviews or media reports can create such distortions. "People are particularly susceptible to having their memories  28  when the passage of time allows the original memory to fade, and will be most susceptible if they repeat the  29  as fact."
Witnesses may see or read information after the event, then integrate it to produce something  30  than what was experienced, significantly reducing the reliability of their memory of an event or offender, "Further, witnesses may strongly believe in their memories, even though aspects of those memories are verifiably false."
