Conducting Trauma-Informed Investigations for Sexual Misconduct Cases

A trauma-informed investigation takes into account different conditions such as shock, denial, memory loss, or withdrawal that may interfere with the interviewee’s ability to clearly articulate their experience. Investigators are missing the opportunity to solicit the most objective version of a reporting party’s story if they do not consider developing a fact-finding strategy that is also trauma-informed.
