TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Reliability of criteria-based content analysis of child witness statements: Response to Tully JO - Legal and criminological psychology A1 - Horowitz, Steven W. SP - 189 EP - 191 VL - 3 IS - 2 N2 - Tully (1998) suggests that the quality of statements from child witnesses is likely to affect the reliability of criteria-based content analysis (CBCA) ratings. Recent studies suggest that this may be true. He also suggests that giving raters more latitude in their ratings, rather than less, might improve both reliability and validity. This is an interesting idea that is worth testing. Finally, Tully argues that CBCA and statement validity assessment (SVA), of which it is a part, are protocols rather than psychometric instruments. Therefore, CBCA should not be subject to the rigours of testing for reliability and validity. With this I must disagree.
