Sexual Abuse Case

Models of public response to child sexual abuse have been designed to handle “ordinary” abuse cases, that is, intrafamilial cases with one perpetrator and one victim. These models break down when day-care abuse occurs. In such instances, the scale is larger, the details less predictable, and the context more volatile and more public. The authors review the aspects of day-care-center abuse that complicate public response, based on the results of a national survey. Findings from an intensive case study of a multivictim day-care sexual-abuse case in a small Midwestern community are presented. Analyses suggest ways to improve public response in future cases.

Very Young Children

During the 1970s interest in the mathematical abilities of young children increased. This resulted partly from a proliferation in kindergartens, which became an integral part of existing programs in schools. More very young children entered school causing the number of nursery schools and day-care centers to increase. This resulted in a larger financial investment and an increased public interest in preschool curricula. One aspect of this interest was concern about the mathematics that can be learned by young children and how it should be taught.

The Given

Abstract. Are expert witnesses biased by the side (defense vs. prosecution) that hires them? We examined this issue by having students act as expert witnesses in evaluating interviews in a child sexual abuse case (Experiment 1, N = 143) and tested the value of an instruction to counteract such allegiance effects. The intervention concerned an instruction to consider arguments both for and against the given hypothesis (i.e., two-sided instructions; Experiment 2, N = 139). In Experiment 3 ( N = 123), we additionally provided participants with three different scenarios. Participants received a case file regarding a case of alleged sexual abuse. With the file, participants received an appointment letter emphasizing elements of the file that questioned (defense) or supported (prosecution) the veracity of the accusation. Participants displayed allegiance bias (Experiments 1–3), but two-sided instructions were not successful in eliminating allegiance bias (Experiments 2 and 3). The findings underscore the importance of legal safeguards in expert witness work.

Interviewing Techniques

In sexual abuse cases children's testimony plays an important role. To evaluate the quality of a witness' statement, the interviewing techniques and the context of the investigative interview have to be considered. The interviewing techniques from the highly publicized day care abuse cases during the 1980s have been repeatedly found to be directive and suggestive. Many of these interviewing techniques, such as positive and negative reinforcement, inducing stereotypes and repeated questioning within and between interviews, have been shown empirically to elicit false statements from young children. Many different interview guidelines point to this problem and suggest alternative interviewing techniques. Overall, there are few quantitative studies of interviewer behavior in sexual abuse cases. None of these has compared the interviewer behavior in a day care abuse case with interviewer behavior in “normal” sexual abuse cases by the Child Protective Service (CPS) in the USA. A first study compared behavior in these two contexts and confirmed the notion that the amount of suggestive interviewing techniques is significantly higher in a sample of day care abuse interviews than in a sample of CPS interviews. These results support the former statements of Ceci & Bruck (1995) that interviews with child witnesses in sexual abuse cases, especially in day care ritual abuse cases, include suggestive interviewing techniques. These have to be discussed considering their impact on statements of child witnesses.
