Assessing psychological reliability of minor testimony encounters significant legal challenges.
Currently, expert examinations of minors' testimony are unsupported by criminal procedure law.
Legislation does not recognize experts as assessors of evidence in juvenile criminal cases, complicating evaluations of reliability for testimony fed into legal processes. Expert opinions lack a robust scientific foundation, impacting their validity in practice and law enforcement processes. Invalid conclusions on reliability arise from the absence of established research and theory in this area.
