Editing Blinded experiment (section)

===In forensics===
In a [[police lineup|police photo lineup]], an officer shows a group of photos to a witness and asks the witness to identify the individual who committed the crime. Since the officer is typically aware of who the suspect is, they may (subconsciously or consciously) influence the witness to choose the individual that they believe committed the crime. There is a growing movement in law enforcement to move to a blind procedure in which the officer who shows the photos to the witness does not know who the suspect is.<ref>{{cite journal | first = Melissa | last = Dittmann | name-list-style = vanc | title = Accuracy and the accused: Psychologists work with law enforcement on research-based improvements to crime-suspect identification. | journal = Monitor on Psychology | publisher = American Psychological Association | date = July–August 2004 | volume = 35 | issue = 7 | pages = 74 | url = http://www.apa.org/monitor/julaug04/accuracy.htm }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | first = Brendan I. | last = Koerner | name-list-style = vanc |url=http://www.legalaffairs.org/issues/July-August-2002/review_koerner_julaug2002.msp | title = Under the Microscope |work = Legal Affairs |date= July–August 2002|access-date=2 May 2018}}</ref>
