Summary

While the question of the reliability of children?s testimony has been discussed for hundreds of years, it has only been researched on an effective scale in the past 30 years. Uniquely covering the topics court and clinical personnel need, this book discusses how to interact with children who have been victims of crime, how to work with children who are perpetrators of crime, and the basic laws related to children. This book brings together psychologists, lawyers, and social workers to present practice-based knowledge to improve judicial and child welfare systems.
