Child Sexual Abuse Case Management: Intervention,
Interview-Investigative Techniques
Length of Seminar: 2
Days
Instructor: Terry
Hall
Course Overview:
This two day training module will enhance the knowledge
of Law Enforcement, Social Service Agencies, Child Protective Services
and Prosecutors who have the profound responsibility of Investigating,
Interviewing, Intervention and Prosecution of Child Sexual Abuse cases.
Often times there is no physical evidence to corroborate
the victims story and the victim must rely on the interviewing and
interrogation skills of the investigator to result in a favorable outcome
by the judicial system.
Far too often the victim is victimized several times,
once by the perpetrator and again by the judicial system. Because of
the belief of many judges and prosecutors that a child is too young
or not “competent” to testify, your job becomes much more
difficult.
It is important that you, in your role as a provider
of services to sexually abused victims, develop good child interviewing
skills with an understanding of behavior indicators, society’s
attitude, social stigma and the myths about molestation.
Good interrogation skills will greatly enhance your
ability to obtain a confession by the accused perpetrator and lessen
the victimizing of the victim.
You will also be provided with the knowledge to recognize
the characteristics and the difference between a preferential and a
situational child molester. Profiling or an assessment of a pedophile
with an understanding that all child molesters are not pedophiles and
all pedophiles are not child molesters. |
