Abstract
This document provides information about child development, as well as the underlying concepts and methods of forensic interviewing. In addition, the materials presented, and prosecution strategies outlined here will enable prosecutors to assess the quality of the forensic interview, prepare and use the forensic interviewer at trial, question child witnesses more effectively, and increase their ability to cross-examine defense expert forensic interviewer witnesses and defend the forensic interview in court. Increased understanding and utilization of these valuable methods will assist prosecutors as they work to protect children from abuse and neglect.
