Each year, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of research articles published in a variety of journals in disciplines which address important issues in child abuse and neglect. These range from basic sciences, neuroscience, and psychology, to epidemiology, public health, medicine, law, law enforcement, and other areas that report new and potentially important information for professionals responding to child abuse and neglect. This presenters for this session will search the world’s published literature for 2022 to review articles with information that can be used to improve practice and policy, while highlighting articles from APSAC’s journal Child Maltreatment and publications which participants can use in their work and that reflect the best science across disciplines. These are foundational articles which provide information that can be transformative in the field and can assist the participants throughout their professional careers. The presenters will make the articles “accessible” to the participants and will discuss important aspects of their study design, study sample and generalizability of results.


Presenters: Vincent Palusci, MD, MSStacie LeBlanc JD, MEd

Description:
Legal actions are perhaps the most powerful responses to child maltreatment. Criminal and child protection investigation and forensic interviewing can provide the evidence needed to support a child victim’s disclosure. Prosecution of child maltreatment can hold perpetrators accountable. Juvenile and family court actions can provide for children’s safety and oversee their care in state custody and journey to a permanent home. This commentary introduces readers to a special issue of the journal Child Maltreatment that focuses on the legal system response to child abuse and neglect. We provide an overview of the issue’s 11 research articles and additional commentary piece. These works provide crucial new knowledge on gaining information from child victims involved in the legal system, on the law enforcement and prosecution response to child maltreatment, and on the legal framework supporting child protection.


Presenters: Vincent Palusci, MD, MSStacie LeBlanc JD, MEd

Please Read Prior to Registering for this Clinic: Our comprehensive Clinic offers a unique opportunity to participate in an intensive training experience focused on the basic skills and knowledge necessary to conduct child forensic interviews. Participants will have personal interaction with leading experts in the field of child forensic interviewing. Attendees must complete pre-clinic assignments and respond to communication from the Clinic Director prior to the event.  There will be homework and self-study assignments following each day of the clinic.  In order to receive a certificate of completion participants must complete mock child forensic interviews with actors and pass a test following the conclusion of the Clinic. 

The APSAC Child Forensic Interview Clinic is intended as an initial training for professionals whose job responsibilities include conducting in-depth forensic investigative interviews of children who may have experienced or witnessed maltreatment, exploitation, neglect or other crimes. These interviews are conducted as part of a multidisciplinary team investigative process in affiliation with a Child Advocacy Center (CAC), police agency, or government-sponsored child protection agency. To qualify to attend this Clinic you must either be a Child Abuse Pediatric Fellow or endorsed by a CAC​, a police agency, or a government-sponsored child protection agency as someone who is or will be responsible for conducting in-depth forensic interviews of children on a regular basis. (Any exceptions must be approved in advance by the Clinic Director and will only be considered on a space-available basis.) The APSAC Child Forensic Interview Clinic will be conducted in English and participants must be fluent in English. APSAC is unable to provide interpretation services.
