Which identification method uses a single suspect for immediate identification after a crime?

• A. Photo Array
• B. Show-Up
• C. Line-Up
• D. Double Blind Photo Array

Answer: (B)

This item asks about identification methods used after a crime. A show-up is when a single suspect is presented to the witness for immediate identification, usually soon after the incident and often at the scene or nearby. It’s a quick way to determine if the witness can recognize the person as the perpetrator while details are fresh. This differs from a photo array, which shows multiple photos; a line-up, which presents several people together in a controlled lineup; and a double blind photo array, which is a photo array where the administrator doesn’t know which photo is the suspect to reduce bias. So the method described—presenting one person for immediate identification—is a show-up.
