ABSTRACT

Home abuse is a serious problem in today's society, and children are usually the victims and important witnesses in this kind of crime. Although children are important witnesses to home abuse, it is often a challenge to question child witnesses effectively due to the limitations of children's cognitive abilities, memory levels and expressive skills. This paper focuses on the research of child witness inquiry methods based on psychology and explores the inquiry methods or models that can effectively improve the credibility and accuracy of child witness testimony in these cases, so as to promote the smooth detection of cases. At the same time, more diversified and flexible child witness protection measures are also explored in the study, and the child witness questioning model is integrated to help children better eliminate the negative impact of home abuse
