RE: Children's experience of the Legal process

Derek,
Family Court-focused research may not be exactly what you are after, but
the Columbus project in Western Australia is designed to address the
detrimental effects of the court process on children and families.

Subject: Children's experience of the Legal process

Hi,
I would be grateful for some direction towards literature and/or advice
on
research looking at children's experience of the legal process, both
criminal and civil. This is to inform a research project looking at same
from an Irish perspective. What we are interested in examining is how
children experience the legal system both as a witness and as a victim,
from
a child centred perspective. Any thoughts?
Best wishes,
