Synopsis:

Intermediaries are independent communication specialists who assist children and vulnerable adults in the criminal justice system―for example, during police interviews or at trial. This is the first book to look at the remarkable success of intermediaries’ increasing involvement with the justice system. Built on case studies and interviews, the book offers a comprehensive explanation of the work of intermediaries and their place in the larger criminal justice system.
