Grier's column «In Our Time,» which runs monthly in Computer magazine, Too Soon To Tell presents a collection of essays skillfully written about the computer age, an era that began February 1946.

Represents a scholarly and ambitious attempt to improve the quality of interviews received by the courts and minimize the risks of miscarriages of justice, for victims and defendants This book updates the previous review of research on children’s testimony—reexamining and readdressing how the quality of information provided by young witnesses is affected by the way they are questioned. Drawing upon both experimental and field studies conducted in different countries, it summarizes evidence supporting the effectiveness of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Protocol and showcases the Protocol’s superiority over other current interviewing techniques for eliciting detailed and forensically useful content from child complainants.

Its insightful chapters cover: children’s testimony; interview and questioning strategies; how investigators typically interview alleged victims; the NICHD Investigative Interview Protocols; the impact that following the Protocol has on interviews and children’s responses; interviewing victims under the age of six; interviewing children with developmental disabilities; using tools and props to complement the Protocol; training and maintaining good interviewing practices; and more. Provides a primary source of guidance practitioners and professionals involved in child protection Updates guidance for interviewers by adding consideration of emotional and motivational factors to better understand children’s behavior during interviews Integrates the substantial body of research published over the last decade and reflects upon questions that the field should continue to address Tell Me What Happened: Structured Investigative Interviews of Child Victims and Witnesses deserves to be read by all practitioners involved in child protection, whether as investigators, interviewers, judges, or lawyers.

Wilhelm Tell ist ein Freiheitsk?mpfer. Aber er ist immer im Auftrag unterwegs – im Auftrag derjenigen, die von ihm erz?hlen. Im 13. Jahrhundert taucht er am n?rdlichen Rand Europas auf, 1470 erscheint er erstmals in der Schweiz, im «Weissen Buch von Sarnen». ?ber die Jahrhunderte verschl?gt es ihn an die verschiedensten Orte, von Luzern bis Boston, ?gypten und Manila. Michael Blatter und Valentin Groebner folgen dem Mann mit der Armbrust auf seinen Streifz?gen. Sie berichten von Tells Auftraggebern, die seine Geschichte f?r ihre Zwecke immer wieder neu und anders pr?sentiert, umgeschrieben und nachgespielt haben; und sie zeichnen nach, wie der Rebell kritisiert, in Erz gegossen, totgeschwiegen und verbrannt wurde. Ein historischer Essay mit ?berraschenden Bez?gen zur Gegenwart – und ohne den bitteren Ernst, der Geschichten nationaler Gr?nderfiguren so oft eigen ist.
