Abstract

Little attention has been paid to cross-race effects on lineup fairness. Brigham demonstrated that lineup construction is influenced by race and that the mock-witness task may be influenced by racial differences. Two experiments extend our knowledge of cross-race issues in the measurement of lineup fairness to include target-absent lineups, descriptions based on viewing staged crimes, and Asian as well as Black and White participants. The results are mixed with some evidence suggesting little or no impact of race on measures of lineup fairness while other evidence indicates the opposite. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
