The examination and cross-examination of children in criminal proceedings : a review of the international literature / Tamara Jordan.: J4-79/2014E-PDF

"Many countries have made developments with respect to the examination and cross-examination of child witnesses in the criminal justice system that surpass those made by Canada. These developments have been made in response to the vulnerabilities of child witnesses documented in the literature and commitments to international covenants pertaining to child witnesses. In many cases, reforms in other countries have been championed and sustained by members of the judiciary alongside prominent academics and other interested members of the criminal justice system"--Exec. Summary, p. vi.
