ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines some developments which have taken place in the United Kingdom jurisdiction, where the applications of new insights have been applied, and where potential modifications are being considered. It discusses the current position of victim witnesses in the United Kingdom in investigative interviews, and in procedures and examination in the courtroom. One significant development in the context of investigative interviews is the enhanced cognitive method (ECI), which has over the years been compared with other memory enhancement methods. The main elements are "report everything" (RE), "context reinstatement" (CR), "change perspective" (CP), "change order" (CO), and "build rapport" (BR). The chapter explores leading issues and steps taken in consideration of those issues that affect victim witnesses in court. The initiative attempted to make the criminal justice system more victim-centered with emphasis on facilitating the gaining and giving of evidence through safeguarding witnesses at all stages of proceedings.
