Justin Boardman Talks Neurobiology / Trauma to the Brain PART 2
Manage episode 314019512 series 3172671
We continue our discussion about how trauma affects the brain and why it is so important to include this science when conducting sexual assault investigations.
Retired Detective Justin Boardman was in Law Enforcement for 15 years. For seven years, he was been assigned to the Special Victim’s Unit. During his first year in Investigations, Justin was awarded Investigator of the Year, conducted nearly 300 forensic child victim interviews, and 140 adult sexual assault victim interviews.
Justin co-authored (along with Donna Kelly, Utah Prosecution Council) a Trauma-Informed Victim Interview protocol for adult victims of sexual assault. This new protocol uses the Neurobiology of Trauma to gain additional information to be used in the investigation. This process has been studied and has shown to increase prosecutions along with procedure changes.
