Children in the Law (CITL) Laboratory

Promoting Truthful and Accurate Disclosures

CITL Project 2

This grant examines best practices for investigative interviews with children across laboratory, field, and juror research, focusing on novel techniques that can elicit truthful disclosures from children. CITL's effort has focused on the field component, where we assess what happens in both forensic interviews and criminal trials, and then work with our collaborators to connect our findings back to both laboratory and juror research. This project was funded by the National Institute of Health.
