Most notably recognized for advancing the field of forensic psychology in the areas of wrongful conviction and eyewitness identification, Brian Cutler, PhD, has also served as a consultant and expert witness in more than 150 criminal cases involving eyewitness identification and coercive interrogation in Canada and the United States. With a penchant for justice, he began his post-secondary education at a time when the problem of wrongful conviction wasn’t yet on the radar in North America. Dr. Cutler was enthusiastic about how basic principles of scientific psychology could be used to improve police investigations and criminal justice. The emerging field of forensic psychology and the opportunity to help shape this burgeoning field captivated his interest, and he has never regretted his career choice. Dr. Cutler graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Rochester in New York in 1982; he received his Master of Arts degree in Psychology from the State University of New York at Geneseo in 1984; and he earned his Doctorate in Social Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1987. In 1987, Dr. Cutler joined the Department of Psychology at Florida International University (FIU), where he climbed the academic ranks from assistant to associate to professor over a span of 15 years. During his time there, he also served as associate dean of FIU’s College of Arts and Sciences between 1992 and 1998. In 2002, he joined the University of North Carolina in Charlotte where he served as professor and chair of the Department of Psychology until 2008. Dr. Cutler has authored or co-authored more than 100 books, book chapters and peer-reviewed articles in psychology and law journals, covering the topics of eyewitness identification, jury decision-making, and basic social psychology. His articles have appeared in the prestigious Law and Human Behavior, Journal of Applied Psychology, Applied Cognitive Psychology, and Legal and Criminological Psychology. His current research is focused on co-editing a Handbook of Forensic Psychology for the American Psychological Association Press (APA). The comprehensive handbook is a two-volume review of the latest research, techniques and tools in the field.
