Summary
Introduction
Imagine, if you will, that you are sitting quietly outside a café sipping your favourite hot beverage when someone rushes past and snatches your mobile phone, which you left on the table, as you often do. You were able to get a good look at the person’s face, albeit for a short time. Your next hour is spent speaking with a police officer giving a description of what happened and what the offender looked like.
It is likely that you could describe accurately what happened. You will probably also be able to describe the perpetrator’s build and clothing. There should be no trouble in saying what was the sex of the person and his or her ethnicity; you should be reasonably accurate at estimating the age, height and weight. You could probably remember some details of the person’s face.
