Perhaps even tasked with selecting a suspect from a line-up. But how reliable can a child be under such strenuous circumstances?.In this book, Dr. Ben Cotterill explores practices and influences that can increase or decrease the accuracy of children’s testimonies. Memory mechanisms and general developmental factors behind the capability of child witnesses are outlined, demonstrating their ability to describe or identify. Factors that affect jurors‘ perception of said children are also looked into in detail..There have been many instances in which poor interviewing practices with children led to false imprisonments. Said occurrences demonstrate how both situational factors and individual differences can potentially compromise children’s eyewitness performance. Based upon what we now understand, can recommendations be made, so that, in a court of law,innocence is the key to achieving justice?. | | Pindex | Book 2022 |
