Abstract
A validation study of the Child Sexual Abuse Knowledge Questionnaire, which contains items derived from empirical findings on common misconceptions, was conducted on a sample of non-empanelled jurors. Those misconceptions were about typical features of abuse offences, children’s responses to child sexual abuse, and their ability to give reliable evidence.
