Abstract

Policymakers have a duty to base their decision making in the best available evidence relevant to the question at hand. This paper discusses why it is important for policymakers to recognize the valuable contributions to be made from within the fields of investigative and forensic psychology and particularly to inform the process of policymaking and legislative frameworks currently in place regarding suspicious approaches to children offences in the Irish Criminal Justice System. Discrepancies between legal and psychological considerations infer potential issues with policymaking; resulting in evidence-based concerns regarding how suspicious approaches to children are handled. It is argued that in cases of suspicious approaches to children, important research is available within the fields of investigative and forensic psychology that warrants adequate consideration by policymakers. Additionally, the need for further collaboration between policymakers, researchers and front-line enforcement agencies to ensure evidence-based approaches for dealing with suspicious approaches to children and other criminal behaviours within the Irish criminal justice system is highlighted.

调查心理学的评估和对爱尔兰刑事司法系统中儿童的可疑方法的应用
决策者有责任根据与手头问题相关的最佳现有证据做出决策。本文讨论了为什么政策制定者必须认识到调查和法医心理学领域的宝贵贡献,特别是要告知目前在爱尔兰刑事司法系统中关于儿童犯罪的可疑方法的政策制定过程和立法框架。法律和心理考虑之间的差异推断出政策制定的潜在问题;导致对如何处理对儿童的可疑方法的循证担忧。有人认为,在对儿童采取可疑方法的情况下,调查和法医心理学领域的重要研究值得决策者充分考虑。此外,还强调了政策制定者、研究人员和一线执法机构之间进一步合作的必要性,以确保在爱尔兰刑事司法系统内以循证方法处理对儿童的可疑做法和其他犯罪行为。
