Summary

My research is designed to facilitate children's (and other witness') participation in the justice system by better understanding how witnesses remember and report their experiences. I conduct basic laboratory experiments on memory and social behaviours, as well as field research on the experiences of children who have been victims of and/or witnesses to crime. I am also interested in how adults perceive children¹s reports and how we can improve children's ability to provide evidence.
