Advanced Forensic Interviewing Techniques for Children: The Cognitive Interview and Beyond

Julie Kenniston, Chris Ragsdale, Lynda Davies-Faroni, and Michael Haney

This is an Advanced Level day and a half forensic interviewing institute with an emphasis on increasing interviewer skills in the area of obtaining detailed narratives from children through the use of the Cognitive Interview. Obtaining such narrative detail from children allows investigative agents to pursue evidence to either support or refute allegations of child sexual abuse. This 12-hour session will include both lecture and practice interview sessions to develop and refine this skill. Research support for this technique will be discussed, along with benefits and criticisms from a legal perspective. In addition, the presenters will discuss interviewing reluctant children and engage in a dialogue about how to conduct peer review and give feedback on interviews using a standardized tool. It is recommended that participants have completed a week long interview training, such as APSAC, Finding Words, NCAC, The Childhood Trust, or state recognized model, to fully benefit from this learning experience.
