Abstract
Child sexual abuse is a growing concern in the United States. The investigative
process in such cases serves great importance to the outcome of the case and the child's
well being. Investigative interviews in such cases should be conducted in such a way that
facilitates recall and minimizes high levels of suggestion in the interviews. There are
significant problems in the field of investigative interviewing that cause road blocks in
the route to successful interviews. Through proper training and education, techniques can
be used to decrease suggestion and maximize recall in the interview. A case study is
examined in this paper that demonstrates the difficulties of conducting a proper
investigative interview. Further suggestions are made to better the realm of investigative
interviewing.
