Practical Experience Sharing on the Use of Investigative Dolls and Toddler Testimony in Cases
Last edited: 2026-07-27
In sexual assault cases practice, investigative assistance dolls are usually used to help children and people with intellectual disabilities state the facts and strive for judicial justice as a method for investigating sexual assault cases. The purpose is to increase the victims' willingness to testify and their expressive abilities. There are also court series reference books and other materials, hoping to increase the forms of victims' expression and communication through diverse media tools such as picture cards and interactive optical discs for three-dimensional books, in a way that matches the victims' cognitive abilities and also helps them reduce fear.
However, regarding the usage of investigative dolls and whether they might cause suggestive questioning, there are numerous theories in practice and academia, with varying approaches adopted by different parties. To determine the best approach for a case in terms of practical operation and theoretical experience, we hope to explore the early-stage evidence collection methods of cases through the sharing of practitioners.
