520 8 Eyewitnesses are an important source of information in
many criminal investigations. Alcohol-related crimes are
common, and intoxicated witnesses are also common. However,
few published studies have examined how alcohol affects
eyewitnesses' memories. This case study describes how the
author as a PhD student examined the differences between
intoxicated and sober witnesses' memories of a fictive
crime in a laboratory setting using an experimental
design. The author has extensive experience of laboratory
research on alcohol and witness memory as she has worked
on this topic since 2010. The aim of this case study was
to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of
conducting alcohol-related experiments in a laboratory to
assess memory performance. Hopefully, this case study will
facilitate important decisions that have to be taken
during the research process. For example, in experimental
research, it is crucial to have a methodologically sound
design before starting to collect data. First, an overview
is presented with important issues (e.g., ethical
permission) that need to be taken care of before starting
this kind of research. Second, the strengths and
weaknesses of experimental research conducted in
laboratories versus quasi-experimental studies in the
field are considered in the context of examining how
alcohol affects witness memory. Third, the reader is
walked through the different experimental phases. The
conclusion summarizes some of the advantages and
disadvantages associated with carrying out experimental
studies of this type in the laboratory.
