CHARACTERIZING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND CHILD VICTIMS' PARTICIPATION IN THE PORTUGUESE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
— STAFF
This is descriptive, jurisdiction-specific case-file research: it characterizes how Portuguese courts handle child sexual abuse cases and associates early preserved testimony with conviction, but it changes no doctrine, imposes no obligation, and offers no instrument or method finding that alters what a forensic evaluator can assert. Its practical value to a reader outside Portugal is as contextual support for the general argument that early, single-session evidence capture reduces repeated child testimony.
