Which identification method uses multiple suspect photos?

• A. Photo Array
• B. Show-Up
• C. Line-Up
• D. Double Blind Photo Array

Answer: (A)

Witness identification methods differ in how many images are shown. When several suspect photos are presented at once for the witness to review, that method is a photo array. It lets the witness compare multiple faces side by side and pick the one that matches the offender, rather than being shown just one option. A show-up, by contrast, presents a single person to the witness. A line-up involves a live or staged group of people, not photos. A double blind photo array is still a photo array, but with the twist that neither the witness nor the administrator knows which photo is the suspect, reducing bias while still using multiple photos.
