Project to Assess the Credibility of Witness Statements
In the study, after a brief introduction to the characteristics of credibility, an interrogation video of a victim witness of a sexual offense is shown, which is then to be evaluated using a questionnaire. A first sample of police students was surveyed at the Hamburg Police University in January 2022. A second sample examined criminal investigation officers who, unlike the students, already have investigative experience.
A final sample of law students at the University of Münster is currently being surveyed.
