Book Description

This comprehensive resource helps the reader evaluate and understand children's statements in the courtroom. Noting that in many instances testimony is elicited from children using questionable techniques that may be damaging to both defendant and accused, Ceci and Bruck describe procedures that will ensure that interviews and analysis are conducted in a sensitive and professional manager.

5.0 out of 5 stars Data-driven and ethical forensic work, Oct 5 2002
By 
William M. Grove (Woodbury, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jeopardy in the Courtroom: A Scientific Analysis of Children's (Paperback)
An excellent guide to the state of current knowledge about memory, suggestibility, and unsuitable vs. suitable information-eliciting techniques, with regard to children's testimony. This book is distinguished from others on the same topic by the scientific reputations of the editors and chapter authors, as well as the cautious approach. Fits in very well with current Supreme Court strictures on the admissibility of expert/science based testimony---Daubert, Joiner, & Kumho decisions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most important book in my libarary, Jan 31 1999
By Jennifer P. Lee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jeopardy in the Courtroom: A Scientific Analysis of Children's Testimony (Hardcover)
This is the most important non-legal book in my library. Anyone who needs to evaluate the credibility of a child's statement should read this book. Even-handed in its approach, it points out those factors most important to consider when assessing a child's accusations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for child care providers, Nov 8 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jeopardy in the Courtroom: A Scientific Analysis of Children's Testimony (Hardcover)
Child care center directors often shudder when the attempt to collect an overdue tuition bill angers the user of services. Money matters can turn into dangerous situations for a provider, if parents have shallow pockets, deep problems and reckless behaviors.This book should be read by lawyers, judges and people in the field of early childhood education.
