Forensic Interviewing Research Paper

Discuss some ways in which you have effectively and successfully navigated interviews with patients of all ages, or in particular your area of practice.

The first interrogation we watched in class was that of a 20-year-old named Joshua Tuttle. Mr. Tuttle was being charged with attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. He was messaging and supposed to be meeting up with a girl named Jesse who he thought was 13 or 14. Joshua was the focus of a sting operation and has been featured on the television program “To Catch a Predator”. When we picked up on the interrogation, Joshua was sitting across the table from the interrogator. Joshua’s chair was pushed up against the wall and in the corner of the room. This is good because it is supposed to make him uncomfortable. The table that sat between Joshua and the interrogator was cluttered with papers. This is not good because this gives the suspect something to look at besides the interrogator, which in turn can change the suspect’s body language and or answers.

This worker had to explain that the investigation was when the children were interviewed and took to the hospital and there's an affidavit of a abuse from children's.

This puts the child at ease of any nervousness or anxiety. This can be achieved by asking the child about their interests. As a rapport is being established between the interviewer and the child, rules of the interview must set. The level of development and body language of the child should be noted. The interviewer should then ask the child to recall two specific events that happened in the past. This is done to achieve the level of detail the child recalls about the two events, and teaches the child how to tell a story. Introducing the topic of concern by the interviewer is next. Asking an open-ended question gives the child an opportunity to be a free narrative and unprompted about the event.

First and foremost as the clinician, an background description of forensic assessments should be discussed in order for understanding when discussing a specific assessment related to Ana’s case. Assessments could be used in all levels of criminal proceedings, starting with an evaluation of the clients’ level of capacity as well as evaluation of the clients’ competency to stand trial. Assessors should assess research findings that are concerning correlations between legally relevant behaviors and testing results. Generated hypotheses and test results should be confirmed a with third party data as well. Confirmation is important during this time because the client may unknowingly or knowingly present themselves in way that may help the legal

in this interview I decided to interview my sister Sierra because she is now an adult and I wanted to know what it was like to go out to the real world and having responsibilities and I also want to know what it was like finally being an adult. Also I wanted to know what it was like searching for job when you were under the age of

3. Compare the outcome of practice the Reid Technique while interviewing a youth suspect with evidence and youth suspect without evidence.

If I was a Child Welfare social worker I would first take into account the age and maturity level of the child. All children are different and need to be interviewed or talked to accordingly. For example there could be a 15 year old but his or her maturity level is that of a 5 year old. For this child I would talk to them as I would a 5 year old. I would personally also take into account the environment the interview is held in. I would want to make the child feel as comfortable and safe as I can. I would also try to interview the child in a familiar environment if at all possible so they would be more at ease. If I could not do this I would have them in a neutral environment such as a park or community center. Police stations

The person I decided to interview is a Child and Family Specialist who's been working for EYS for 8 months now. I will not identify this employee, but I will give him a pseudo-name to protect his identity. Chris wright graduated with his BA in Social Work from Humboldt State University. He’s been working in the Social Work field for approximately 3 years doing a variety of work with children in Humboldt County. One of his proud jobs was working in the Juvenile hall which is how he heard about the EYS position. His duty as a Child and Family Specialist, is to build positive relationships with his clients and help them achieve goals set forth by counselors, family or schools. A large portion of his job entails Chris Wright to drive youth to and from appointments, jobs, meetings or simply spending time with the

For this assignment, I knew I wanted to interview a person who worked as some sort of child psychologist. I decided to interview a child psychologist because I am interested in working with immigrant children and advocating specifically for their mental health.

Throughout time children have been sole witnesses of crimes either committed to them or in their presence. Leaving forensic interviewers with the burden of withdrawing reliable information in the hopes that these children can remember. Forensic interviewers are not completely aware of children’s capacities and limitations when it comes to communication, and therefore are faced to try to withhold as much information through techniques that will elicit testimony.

During the video lecture Denise McMillian discussed effective strategies a social worker may utilize during a forensic interview. First, the examiner must never lose sight of the goal in forensic interview. Second, it is in the client and the examiner best interest to conduct the interview with biases. Third, the examiner should mindful of the situation since the defense attorney may possibly suggest the child was bribed for his/her testimony. The goal during the forensic interview is to obtain information that is consistent and truthful as possible.

The first person I interviewed was my cousin Chloe. I was very shocked at what I found with her answers. I have always thought she was somewhat immature, but her answers said otherwise. One question I asked her was what the biggest accomplishment she has had was. Her answer, “getting straight A’s through all of elementary school and most of middle

The child's interview selected has many strengths and limitations. As an objective expert, I will provide the court with scientific evidence of two significant problems with this interview. The two significant problems being identified and addressed today are the effects of a biased interviewer, and misleading and suggestive questioning techniques. Both of these problems are related to this forensic interview. Quality issues of the child's report, as well as how it could be improved will also be explained.
