Research summary
Forensic Interviews in Multi-Disciplinary Approach:Development of interviewing methods and training It is not easy to collect information from alleged victims and witnesses of crime, child abuse, accident, school-bullying, and so on. Children are easily mislead, and are likely to suffer from the secondary trauma by repeated interviews. The aim of our research is to develop an interviewing method (forensic interviews) and the training program for professionals. Currently we are working on the development of a program to promote forensic interviews in multi-disciplinary approach.
