Conducting forensic interviews with children who may have experienced abuse or have had exposure to violence can be difficult for all involved.  When a forensic interview is required, the needs of the child must come first. In order to do that and facilitate the best outcome, the U.S. Department of Justice has published a bulletin containing information about the best practices for interviewing children including:
  • Tips for the interviewer
  • Interview phases to encourage greater detail in conversation.   
  • Electronic recordings and the interview room
  • Ways to build rapport with the child

The end of the report contains a summary of interviewer tips that can be quickly browsed.

4 QUICK BEST PRACTICES FOR INTERVIEW RECORDING

2/12/2016

0 Comments

 
Here are four quick best practices for interview recording...
  • At least one camera should show both the subject and the interviewer in its field of view.​
  • Start the recording before the subject enters the room and stop it after the interviewer and subject leave the room.
  • The recording should continue during breaks to ensure that all activity for the entire time is recorded.
  • Only one interview should be recorded on each DVD disc or recording media.
