Interactions between a Child Victim and Criminal Justice Professionals ● Criminal justice professionals need to talk to the child/teen victim in a secure location. ● Criminal justice professionals need to be patient. They need to let the child/teen victim open-up to them. They will talk when they are ready. This also helps professionals build rapport and trust. ● Do not use jargon, use small and simple sentences but avoid baby talk. ● Do not tell the child/teen they are making it up or that they are trying to pin it on someone else.

Experience of a Child Victim ● Their normal physiological and psychological adjustment to life is disrupted. ● Children victims are forced to enter the criminal justice system that they do not understand. ● Children need safe spaces and safe people they can talk to. ● “As a law enforcement officer, you play a key role in this process and lessen the likelihood of long-term trauma for child victims (First Response to Victims of Crime- Child victims, n.d.).
