December 29, 2018

Research Problem

The research problem entailed in this particular study is the presence of misinterpreted eye witness testimony. The misinterpreted of eye witness testimony is one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions and wrongful acquittals. It is important to implement social change when it comes to the misinterpretation of eye witness testimony. In order to gather the appropriate information; in this case, the descriptions of the legal professionals can lead to helping prevent misinterpreted testimony by understanding their experiences.

Research Purpose

The purpose of the research is for legal professionals to describe their experiences in efforts to understand how eye witness testimony is misinterpreted. It is imperative to understand the errors that occur in eye witness testimony interpretation due to different reasons. However, it is a topic that needs to combated appropriately. The legal professional’s description of their experiences regarding what they have witnesses in their professional career. Additionally, this could lead to prevention of misinterpreted of eye witness testimony by finding the strengths and weaknesses of eye witness testimony.

Research Question

“How do legal professionals describe their experiences with misinterpreted eyewitness testimony experiences?” 

Approach

The phenomenological approach is the appropriate approach for this particular type of research study. The phenomenological approach is an approach that encompasses the human experiences. Additionally, it is important to consider emotionality, desire, and other factors. Furthermore, there are varying levels of perceptions regarding the subjective human experiences. Additionally, this approach is beneficial when it comes to trial and error (Groenewald, 2004). When describing the experiences of legal professionals, I believe that the phenomenological approach is appropriate in this regard. From a legal standpoint, it is important to capture a method that entails a trial and error type of approach.
