Forensic Interviews Regarding Child Sexual Abuse pp 1–17Cite as

History of Forensic Interviewing

  • Chapter

Abstract

When a person, whether a child or an adult, makes an accusation of sexual abuse (or is suspected of being a victim in the absence of a specific accusation), forensic interviews are used to explore what really happened. The history of interviews of abuse victims (and purported victims) is complicated, and this history has led directly to many of the specific practices used in forensic interviewing today. Human memory is a central player in this complexity and its tendency to err is central to the need for precise techniques. In this chapter, we discuss some of the key events of recent decades that have helped shape the modern forensic interview. We also describe some of the research that is relevant to the practice.
