Answer :
The scenario reflects Option a) an anti-snitching mindset. This mindset hinders police investigations, making it difficult to gather information about crimes such as a drive-by shooting, and is distinct from show-up identifications, which are a different aspect of police witness procedures.
This scenario reflects an anti-snitching mindset, where witnesses either fear retaliation or distrust the police and thus refuse to provide information about a crime they have observed, in this case a drive-by shooting. When witnesses are non-cooperative, police investigations can be hindered, and obtaining justice becomes more challenging. This mindset can also be reinforced by a community's collective experiences or cultural norms that stigmatize cooperation with law enforcement.
In contrast, a show-up identification is a police procedure where a possible suspect is presented to eyewitnesses shortly after a crime and they are asked to confirm whether that person is the perpetrator. However, from a psychological perspective, this can be problematic as it may lead to suggestibility and the creation of false memories, lowering the reliability of the witness identification.
