Product Description
Synopsis
The credibility of children's testimony is a hotly debated topic in America's courtrooms, universities and professional organisations. Are children more suggestible than adults, and if so, what are the implications for those who work with child witnesses? This work examines real life cases in which children were key witnesses in criminal chid abuse trials. Written in accessible language by experts in the field, this text should be useful for expert witnesses and all those who work with child witnesses, including therapists, social workers, law enforcement personnel and lawyers.

The most important book in my libarary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jeopardy in the Courtroom: Scientific Analysis of Children's Testimony (Hardcover)
This is the most important non-legal book in my library. Anyone who needs to evaluate the credibility of a child's statement should read this book. Even-handed in its approach, it points out those factors most important to consider when assessing a child's accusations.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for child care providers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jeopardy in the Courtroom: Scientific Analysis of Children's Testimony (Hardcover)
Child care center directors often shudder when the attempt to collect an overdue tuition bill angers the user of services. Money matters can turn into dangerous situations for a provider, if parents have shallow pockets, deep problems and reckless behaviors.This book should be read by lawyers, judges and people in the field of early childhood education.

Data-driven and ethical forensic work,
By William M. Grove - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jeopardy in the Courtroom: Scientific Analysis of Children's Testimony (Paperback)
An excellent guide to the state of current knowledge about memory, suggestibility, and unsuitable vs. suitable information-eliciting techniques, with regard to children's testimony. This book is distinguished from others on the same topic by the scientific reputations of the editors and chapter authors, as well as the cautious approach. Fits in very well with current Supreme Court strictures on the admissibility of expert/science based testimony---Daubert, Joiner, & Kumho decisions.
