Abstract

Forensic interviews with children are complex due to a number of variables such as variability in their cognitive development, the potential for suggestibility, threats or bribes, the sensitive nature of topics that may need to be examined, difficulties establishing rapport, etc. This chapter reviews factors that impact the quality of forensic interviews of children who may be abused and presents a model that attempts to comprehensively assess or control for potentially biasing influences. Research on suggestibility is also reviewed.
