Abstract
This monograph describes the best practices and programs that focus on the most
effective response to child victims and child witnesses by all those who work in
our criminal justice system, beginning at the crime scene and continuing through
the prosecution. We hope that the information, skills, programs, and practices
described in this document will serve as a blueprint for policymakers, criminal
justice professionals, and all those who recognize the importance of effective
intervention in the lives of victimized children as a way to prevent future crime
and violence.
