Abstract

Previous research has shown that voice line-ups are very unreliable and often result in a misconception regarding the identity of the perpetrator of the criminal act. The reliability of the results of this evidentiary act, apart from the factors concerning the perpetrator, the witness himself, and the conditions in which it was carried out, can also be influenced by the procedure, that is, the method of obtaining the testimony of the witness. Since the method of conducting this evidentiary action is a factor that the prosecution authorities can influence, we consider it important to examine how this evidentiary action is regulated by other countries and what steps other countries have taken to increase the evidentiary value of this procedural action. In the paper, the author deals with the issue primarily from its formal - criminal procedural side. The paper presents the characteristics of the procedural regulation of this evidentiary action in certain European countries and in the context of recent research related to this issue, a comparison with domestic legal regulations is made. The result of the conducted analysis showed that the domestic criminal procedure legislation should be amended in the part related to the evidentiary action of presentation for recognition, in order to increase the reliability of the results obtained by this evidentiary action.
