Authors Joanna Pozzulo, Emily Pica, and Chelsea Sheahan define what is meant by \"familiarity\" in an eyewitness context and how it has been operationalized and manipulated, exploring factors that may interact with familiarity and examining jurors' perceptions of it. The first half of the book draws on various sub-areas of psychology to understand familiarity against the backdrop of eyewitness identification: social psychology theories of\u003cbr\u003ehow familiarity is established; cognitive psychology and its theories of recognition; face processing literature; and eyewitness literature. The second half of the book surveys system and estimator variables that influence identification, such as lineup procedures, interviewing techniques, the role of age, race, and more; as well as how familiarity is weighed in juror decision-making. A final chapter issues a call for continuing research examining the notion of familiarity and its impact on the criminal justice system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoanna Pozzulo \u003cem\u003eFull Professor and Chair, the Department of Psychology, Carleton University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmily Pica \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor, Department of Psychological Science and Counseling, Austin Peay State University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChelsea Sheahan \u003cem\u003eAdjunct Professor, Carelton University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoanna Pozzulo\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Full Professor and the Chair of the Department of Psychology at Carleton University.
