Book Synopsis



The second edition of Children's Testimony is a fully up-to-date resource for practitioners and researchers working in forensic contexts and concerned with children's ability to provide reliable testimony about abuse.

  • Explores a range of issues involved with children's testimony and their ability to provide reliable testimony about experienced or witnessed events, including abuse
  • Avoids jargon and highly technical language
  • Includes a comprehensive range of contributions from an international group of practitioners and researchers to ensure topicality and relevance



From the Back Cover



Upon its initial publication, Children's Testimony garnered widespread acclaim as a valuable resource for academics and practitioners alike. The second edition reflects the substantial progress made in the field over the past decade and includes the results of ongoing international research.

To ensure that information is topical and directly relevant to practitioners, the contributors include a range of internationally-recognized experts-- psychologists, law enforcement representatives, lawyers, clinicians, expert witnesses, and experienced investigative interviewer trainers. The findings are presented in succinct, highly focused chapters to further enhance clarity and accessibility. The articles cover such topics as critical foundational information; issues pertaining to the cognitive, emotional, and developmental factors affecting children's ability to describe experiences are addressed; and a chronology of the relevant elements of an investigation from initial findings and meetings through post-interview review.

The second edition of Children's Testimony is an essential resource for lawyers, judges, interviewers and investigators, expert witnesses, social workers, academics and researchers working in forensic contexts with the testimony of children.



Review Quotes




"Academics will value the full coverage of research which is relevant to this topic and professional practitioners will learn from both research- and practice-oriented discussions about how best to help children talk about distressing experiences. Policy-makers should benefit from an enhanced understanding of what is required to enable children's effective contribution as witnesses in the criminal justice system and it is to be hoped that if prosecution and defence lawyers read this book they will develop a better appreciation of how to approach child witnesses in the interests of achieving a just outcome in criminal trials." (Child & Family Social Work, 20 December 2013)
