This type of lineup is held shortly after the commission of the crime and involves bringing the witness to the suspects location and is known as?

• A. Live lineup
• B. Showup lineup
• C. Field lineup
• D. Photo lineup

Answer: (C)

Field lineup is a live identification conducted on location, near the crime scene, soon after the offense. In this approach, investigators bring the witness to the field where a group of individuals, including the suspect, is presented for identification. This setup allows for a quick, in-context identification and is used when time is short and the crime scene context is important.

This fits the scenario because it describes a lineup held shortly after the crime and conducted at or near the suspect’s location, rather than in a studio or using photos. A showup would involve identifying a single person, often at the scene, but not a field-wide lineup. Photo lineups use pictures, and live lineups can be conducted in a studio; the field lineup specifically emphasizes an on-location, field-based identification.
