Tell Me What Happened: Structured Investigative Interviews of Child Victims and Witnesses

by Michael E. Lamb, Irit Hershkowitz, Yael Orbach

Investigation of child abuse is often hampered by doubts about the reliability of children as only sources of information. Over the last decade, consensus has been reached about children's limitations and competencies. New for the Wiley Series in the Psychology of Crime, Policing and Law, "Tell Me What Happened" summarizes key research on children's memory, communicative skills and social tendencies, describes how it can be incorporated into a specific structured interview technique and reviews evidence involving more than 40,000 alleged victims.
