What is the reconstruction technique?

What will be an ideal response?


Reconstruction is accomplished by asking witnesses to relive mentally the events prior to,
during, and after the crime. Instruct the witness that reconstruction includes talking about the
time of day, day, month, and year of the event. In other words, reconstruct the scene according to
when it happened. What was the weather, how did he or she know? Was it light or dark? This
line of thought will open up thoughts, particularly when multiple events or assaults had occurred,
in an effort to separate them into single occurrences that are blurred over time.
