On August 24, a public lecture entitled "Difficulties in disclosing sexual victimization by minors and what to do when disclosure is ocured: How to listen carefully to children's 'memories'" was held at Kakumachi Plaza. Eight participants in their 20s to 60s took a part in the lecture.
First, Ms. Ai Uemiya, a lecturer at Institute of Human and Social Sciences Faculty of Humanities, explained the basic principles of the Basic Law for Crime Victims and the responsibilities of the national government, local governments, and citizens, and then discussed the difficulties in disclosing sexual crime victimization of minors based on research findings in criminal psychology and other fields. Next, she explained the flow up to the judicial interview after receiving disclosure, and said what is required in the initial response to fact-finding through practice of open questions, such as "no questions" and "speaking free".
One student commented: "The open questions seemed easy but were very difficult" and "I want to use this lecture when I conduct judicial interviews".
