Course Description

For victims who report sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, and other traumatic incidents, the purpose of an investigative interview is to help them:

(1) Retrieve details of the traumatic event from memory, and

(2) Disclose these details to an investigator.

This purpose is the same regardless of whether the interview is conducted by law enforcement, Title IX investigators, Human Resources personnel, or others. Yet achieving this goal requires a great deal of work before, during, and after the interview.

After opening with an interactive exercise based on a 911 call, presenters will briefly review the scientific research on stress, trauma, and memory, as well as research on what works – and doesn’t – when it comes to effective investigative interviews. This scientific and practical knowledge will then be applied to best practices for:

Conducting an initial interview and preliminary investigation
Planning, preparing, and conducting an in-depth victim interview
Documenting victim statements and other investigative findings
Following up with additional interviews and an evolving investigation, and
Supporting best practices through bold and innovative leadership

Through engaging presentation, compelling videos, guided activities, and interactive Q&A with leading national experts, participants will walk away from this session better prepared to conduct effective victim interviews and evidence-based investigations.
