Produktbeschreibung

Every year, numerous crimes occur involving child eyewitnesses. But how reliable is child eyewitness evidence? This book summarises the research on how well children can describe an event and perpetrator and how well they can identify the perpetrator. It shows that although children may be less advanced in these skills than adults, they nonetheless can provide invaluable evidence.
