Identity parade, also known as lineup, witness parade, or suspect lineup, refers to a police procedure in which a group of individuals, including a suspect, are presented for identification by a witness or victim. Other synonyms for this term may include police lineup, suspect identification, suspect identification lineup, or identification procedure. The goal of an identity parade is to help identify a suspect from a group of individuals with similar characteristics. It is a crucial tool in criminal investigations and is often used to confirm or refute a witness's identification of a suspect. While the terminology for this procedure may vary, the purpose remains the same - to identify perpetrators of crime.
