"If a child falls victim to a crime, or becomes witness to it, they
may well be questioned by the police. 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?
