‘Counterintuitive Behaviors’ examined in webinar

The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan’s Child Abuse Prosecution Resources (CAPR) will present a webinar on “Counterintuitive Behaviors in Child Sexual Assault Victims: What They Are and How to Use Them in Court” Tuesday, July 8, beginning at 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.

Assistant Prosecutor Angela DelVero and Barbara Welke lead a training that will help child abuse investigators and prosecutors understand some of the counter intuitive behaviors demonstrated by children who have been sexually abused, how they can inform the investigation in the case, and how expert testimony about these behaviors can help judges and juries understand these behaviors.
