Preferred term

forensic interviewing  

Definition(s)

  • By definition, forensic interviews are designed to obtain information about experienced events that is as accurate as possible so that it can be used in legal proceedings, both civil and criminal, to protect children and punish offenders (Poole & Lamb, 1998). Such interviews differ in important ways from clinical or therapeutic interviews that are designed to explore the interviewee's subjective feelings and interpretations rather than objective facts.
