Pitfalls in Interviewing Victims
In the assessment of victims, pay special consideration to issues that may affect the ways in which the victims may react to your interventions. You need to do your homework and be aware of issues of possible relevance to the particular person or families you will be interviewing, whether you are:
· Interviewing a victim as part of a psychological evaluation for the court
· Working with law enforcement and need information to help in the prosecution of a crime
· Working as a consultant to an attorney who is defending a person with a history of trauma
Some of the factors possibly influencing people's reactions to their traumatic experiences and their receptivity to certain manners of interviewing include:
· Age, gender, and sexual orientation
· Religious or spiritual beliefs and background
· Cultural or ethnic background
· Education and intellectual functioning
· Physical illnesses
· Language proficiency
Tasks:
Select two of the factors listed above and explain in detail how they may affect your approach in interviewing and assessing a victim. Support your responses using examples and references from your textbook and other resources, such as websites. Include the references at the end of your posting.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Assignment 2: RA: Vignette Analysis: Design Interventions june 7
An important part of the skills you will develop in this course is the ability to design appropriate interventions, and that includes designing an assessment strategy appropriate to the particular client treated. In this assignment, you will create an assessment strategy based on the information provided in the vignette. This assignment is to be completed individually.
Tasks:
As a Forensic Case Manager, Laurel is sent to you to conduct an intake in order to start the assessment process. During that appointment, she relays to you the information mentioned in the vignette. Using the information found in the vignette, provide a preliminary diagnosis of the client according to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM) criteria.
Create a 2- to 3-page paper describing the assessment tools you will use. In your paper, include the following:
•A description of the steps you will take to build rapport with Laurel and help her feel comfortable in confiding in you.
