Description
Obtaining accurate testimony from young children is a central concern in a range of criminal, civil, and family court proceedings. In cases of physical and sexual abuse, the child victim may be the only eyewitness. As the incidence of abuse grows, so has the need for dependable interviewing techniques. The authors of this study - a multidisciplinary team including researchers in pediatrics, psychology, law, and education - tested several interview protocols in obtaining children's reports of touch and handling in safe, but sometimes distressing visits to a pediatric clinic. The authors determined how multiple interviews and interview strategies (including the use of the use of such cues as drawings, photos, dolls, and computer programs) might affect the accuracy, completeness, and consisten cy of the children's reports.
