Abstract
Police officers are regularly required to make judgements of memories, however little is known about how they make these judgements. Research shows that police officers often rely on beliefs about memory that are not in line with scientific knowledge, meaning that flawed judgements of memory evidence may be being made. In this paper, we describe a recent empirical study that has quantified police officers' beliefs about memory and apply the findings to Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis v DSD, showing how decision making may be driven partly by erroneous beliefs about memory.
