Furthermore we hypothesized that the participants in the c

Syftet med studien var att jämföra två olika vittneskonfrontationsmetoder för öronvittnen; elimineringskonfrontation, som går ut på att eliminera de röster som låter minst lik målrösten tills det bara återstår en röst, samt sekventiell vittneskonfrontation där ett eventuellt utpekande görs direkt utan att eliminera några röster.

Förvaltningsmyndigheter är en stor och olikartad grupp vilken bör särskiljas från samlingsbegreppet, och det i dagligt tal använda begreppet, myndighet. Detta har betydelse inte minst ur ett lagtekniskt perspektiv då förvaltningslagen (1986:223), FL, endast ska tillämpas av förvaltningsmyndigheter.
