Book excerpt: Perspectives on Children's Testimony presents current empirical research on the factors which influence adults' perceptions of the child witness.

A variety of new techniques are employed in assessing adult views of child witnesses.

Download or read book Memory and Suggestibility in the Forensic Interview written by Mitchell L. Eisen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories are the ultimate foundation of testimony in legal settings ranging from criminal trials to divorce mediations and custody hearings. Yet the last decade has seen mounting evidence of various ways in which the accuracy of memories can be distorted on the one hand and enhanced on the other. This book offers a long-awaited comprehensive and balanced overview of what we now understand about children's and adults' eyewitness capabilities--and of the important practical and theoretical implications of this new understanding. The authors, leading clinicians and behavioral scientists with diverse training experiences and points of view, provide insight into the social, cognitive, developmental, and legal factors that affect the accuracy and quality of information obtained in forensic interviews. Armed with the knowledge these chapters convey, practitioners in psychology, psychiatry, social work, criminology, law, and other relevant fields will be better informed about the strengths and limitations of witnesses' accounts; researchers will be better poised to design powerful new studies. Memory and Suggestibility in the Forensic Interview will be a crucial resource for anyone involved in elucidating, interpreting, and reporting the memories of others.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT The suggestibility of children in interrogative situations is a significant issue from both developmental and legal standpoints. Formerly, studies in this area indicated that there were pronounced age-related differences in suggestibility, with preschool children being particularly susceptible to misleading suggestions. The present study attempts to make an international comparison between Indian and American children and the role that a child's age, gender, culture and exposure to socially conforming and authoritarian parenting may have on children's performance on measures of suggestibility. Analyses revealed that while both groups of children responded affirmatively to suggestive questions, cultural differences- manifested in the current work as an ascription to either individualistic or collectivistic attitudes- were seen in their responses. American children were found to be more suggestible than Indian children, with an association being observed between permissive parenting and suggestibility. Additionally, three-to four year olds were more suggestible than their older counterparts, and boys more suggestible than girls. This work is discussed within the context of children's eye-witness memory, and highlights the usefulness of such measures in forensic settings.
Download or read book The Witch Hunt Narrative written by Ross E. Cheit and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s, a series of child sex abuse cases rocked the United States. The most famous case was the 1984 McMartin preschool case, but there were a number of others as well. By the latter part of the decade, the assumption was widespread that child sex abuse had become a serious problem in America. Yet within a few years, the concern about it died down considerably. The failure to convict anyone in the McMartin case and a widely publicized appellate decision in New Jersey that freed an accused molester had turned the dominant narrative on its head. In the early 1990s, a new narrative with remarkable staying power emerged: the child sex abuse cases were symptomatic of a 'moral panic' that had produced a witch hunt. A central claim in this new witch hunt narrative was that the children who testified were not reliable and easily swayed by prosecutorial suggestion. In time, the notion that child sex abuse was a product of sensationalized over-reporting and far less endemic than originally thought became the new common sense. But did the new witch hunt narrative accurately represent reality? As Ross Cheit demonstrates in his exhaustive account of child sex abuse cases in the past two and a half decades, purveyors of the witch hunt narrative never did the hard work of examining court records in the many cases that reached the courts throughout the nation. Instead, they treated a couple of cases as representative and concluded that the issue was blown far out of proportion. Drawing on years of research into cases in a number of states, Cheit shows that the issue had not been blown out of proportion at all. In fact, child sex abuse convictions were regular occurrences, and the crime occurred far more frequently than conventional wisdom would have us believe. Cheit's aim is not to simply prove the narrative wrong, however. He also shows how a narrative based on empirically thin evidence became a theory with real social force, and how that theory stood at odds with a far more grim reality. The belief that the charge of child sex abuse was typically a hoax also left us unprepared to deal with the far greater scandal of child sex abuse in the Catholic Church, which, incidentally, has served to substantiate Cheit's thesis about the pervasiveness of the problem. In sum, The Witch-Hunt Narrative is a magisterial and empirically powerful account of the social dynamics that led to the denial of widespread human tragedy.
