Abstract
The following research measures the impact of the Cross-Race Effect (CRE) against other contributing factors which lead to wrongful convictions. Research highly suggests that people are 50% more likely to misidentify individuals outside of their own race. Variables such as time,geography, and categorizaton are also considered. Using an analytical approach to notable law reviews, journals, articles, and case studies, possible solutions are proposed. Advancements in scientifc research may help promote accuracy during eyewitness procedures.
