In 1984, an intruder broke into the home of Jennifer Thompson, a 22-year-old student, and sexually assaulted her. In the initial

stages of the subsequent investigation, the police showed Jennifer a photo array of men matching the description she gave of the intruder. She chose a photo of Ronald Cotton and identified him as the assailant. At a later point in the investigation, Jennifer identified Ronald Cotton as her attacker a second time by choosing him from a lineup. Mr. Cotton spent 11 years in prison before DNA testing proved that someone else, a man named Bobby Poole, had actually attacked Jennifer. Although correct procedures were followed in the investigation, a combination of several factors led to Jennifer's confident and persuasive testimony during Ronald Cotton's trial. Which of the following presents a scenario where positive feedback could have impacted Jennifer's identification of her assailant? a. Jennifer was given only ten minutes to identify her attacker from the lineup. b. Jennifer was shown several photos simultaneously rather than a sequence of photos.c. Jennifer was not informed that her attacker might not be in the lineup. d. Officers told Jennifer that the man she identified in the photo array had been involved in other breaking-and-entering crimes.

Answer:

d. Officers told Jennifer that the man she identified in the photo array had been involved in other breaking-and-entering crimes.

Explanation:

<em>Jennifer identifcation of the man at the initial stage he was arranged could have being filled with doubt but during the second arrangement of those people, she could have been biased in sticking to her first choice.</em><em>This could be as a result of learning from the investigating officer that, the person she identified earlier has been involved in other breakings-and-entering crimes.</em>

<em>This information would definitely have influenced her judgement during the second parade of those people</em>. Had it been such information was actually withheld from her, there is a great chance of her backtracking and withdrawing from her first choice and probably taking a judgement free from bias.

storchak [24]

The staff is using door-in-the-face technique .

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is a technique whereby a respondent is asked to comply with a large request; one which the persuader knows well there is a high chance the respondent will not agree. When the persuader’s first request is turned down, he/she makes a smaller request one which the respondent may agree to.  

The technique recognizes that the request is likely to be accepted since it is not made in isolation; that is the respondent has two requests to compare and contrast. Also, the requests have to be similar in nature but different in magnitude or extent.

This is not sexual harassment.  The U.S. Supreme Court held that sexual harassment law does not cover ordinary "inter sexual flirtation." Someone can prove sexual harassment if rejecting a supervisor’s sexual advances led to a demotion, firing, or altered work assignment or if a hostile work environment is created by the sexual conduct.
