Abstract
One of the challenges facing interviewers is how to elicit information concerning time. Often investigators and prosecutors want to determine when something happened, how long it took to happen, the number of times it happened, and if it was the first or last time. Balancing the needs of the investigation versus the abilities of the child to provide facts regarding an event can often derail an interview. Practical guidelines and strategies for gathering temporal information will be discussed.
