Abstract

The authors review research on children's suggestibility as it applies to the investigative sexual abuse interview. They focus on identifying the optimal conditions for securing an account of a child's remembered experience that will be equally or more reliable than that of an adult. The discussion is divided into four major sections, corresponding to the questions of how, when, where, and by whom a child witness should be interviewed to diminish potential distortions and enhance the trustworthiness of the child's remembered account.
