Abstract

This presentation is part essay and part report. In the first instance, the responsibilities and challenges faced by forensic phoneticians who attempt to deal with the earwitness problem are addressed. The report, in turn, involves a description of the progress being made by a committee on earwitness identification which was appointed by the International Association of Forensic Phonetics in response to their obligations in this regard. The two will be combined here into a single effort.
