Child Sexual Abuse Intervention, Interview
and Investigative Techniques Case Management
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.
