FORENSIC INTERVIEWS WITH CHILDREN

Abstract

A forensic interview is a step forward in preventing the secondary victimization of children in situations where they are witnesses to a criminal event. However, its implementation requires not only appropriate training of interviewers but also appropriate preparation for each individual case. The author first defines the concept of forensic interview with a child and explain its stages. In the second part of the paper, the author considers the normative bases for its introduction in the Republic of Serbia, and analyzes the forensic interviews conducted so far by the Social Welfare Center "St. Sava" in Niš.
