Talking to Child Victims for Prosecutors

This webinar will discuss children's language development to give prosecutors a better idea of how to speak and ask questions of child victims. The webinar will provide a brief overview of the interviewing field, and factors which may affect children's reports. The webinar will also provide practical guidance on how to discuss past abuse without leading/highly suggestive questioning to obtain important details and increase the chances of positive case outcomes.
