The role of an expert psychologist in interrogating a child in the mode of art. 185a of the Code of Criminal Procedure

Summary/Abstract: About 6 million children live in Poland. Unfortunately, according to statistics, about 10,000 minors are killed each year. These are only estimates because we will never know how many children actually become victims of crime, because very often the fact of committing a crime is not reported to the police or the prosecutor’s office. If criminal proceedings are instituted against the perpetrator of abuse of a minor, then his / her participation in the trial and thus his / her hearing as a witness may be necessary. In art. 185a of the Code of Criminal Procedure, a special procedure of interrogation of a minor victim has been regulated to protect him against secondary victimization. The hearing takes place at a court meeting in which a proficient psychologist also participates. The aim of the article is to present the role of a proficient psychologist in interrogating a minor victim.
