Abstract
The present research aims to analyze the fallibility of the procedures for recognizing people
employed in Brazil and the recommendations made by the Psychology of the Testimony in
order to improve the techniques used in suspect identification, proposing, in the end, changes
in the Code of Criminal Procedures. The goal was to demonstrate how the application of
scientific assumptions can contribute to the reduction of undue convictions based on false
personal recognition, as well as in the identification of true criminal authorship. To this end,
the low quality in the production of recognition in Brazil will be analyzed, both at the normative
and practical levels and the consequent risks, as well as to verify how the Psychology of the
Testimony and the knowledge about false memories can contribute to criminal prosecution with
greater credibility in the face of recognition. The study was carried out mainly through
bibliographic research, also using secondary data and also covering legislative and
jurisprudential analysis on the matter in Brazil, as well as the examination of comparative
legislation, in order to visualize international advances in standards and protocols, and statistics
that demonstrate by themselves the relevance of the debate.
