Issued also in French under title: Les enfants et le système de justice au Canada : considérations relatives au développement pour améliorer les témoignages. Includes bibliographical references (pages 65-104). "Children’s statements are often the central evidence in cases involving children as victims and witnesses. Critically, children can provide quality memory evidence, if adults are competent in extracting that evidence. In this report, we review children’s capabilities, limits on their capabilities, challenges in providing evidence, and ways to improve children’s justice experiences. Our focus is on evidence-based conclusions and we review key aspects of cognitive and developmental research that will help the reader understand children’s role as victims and witnesses in the justice system"--Executive summary, page 6.
