"System variables" are factors effecting eyewitness identifications that are under the control of the criminal justice system. We have developed working bibliographies for the following topics.

• Composites: construction, viewing,
• Context and Context reinstatement
• Instruction bias in lineups
• Mugshots
• Non-Identifications
• Repeated Viewing
• Safeguards
• Show-ups (vs. lineups)
• Simultaneous and Sequential lineups
• Structural bias in lineups and its' measurment (Mock Witnesses)

"Estimator Variables" are factors whose impact on eyewitness identifications can only be estimated after the fact.

• Arousal/emotional state (witness)
• Confidence of eyewitnesses.
• Cross-Race recognition and identification
• Delay Interval between event and ID
• Facial Features: Relative value
