What should be explained to victims during the conclusion of an interview?

During the conclusion of an interview, it is crucial to explain the investigation process and ensure the safety of the victim. This assures the victim that their well-being is a priority and provides clarity on what they can expect moving forward. By discussing the investigation process, victims gain understanding about the steps that will be taken and how their information will be used. This transparency helps to alleviate any concerns or fears they may have regarding the investigation, fostering trust and cooperation. Ensuring the victim’s safety is paramount as it can influence their willingness to engage further with law enforcement and the judicial process, and it underscores the support and resources available to them throughout this challenging experience.
