In this working group, we look at credibility assessments in proceedings under the Crime Victims Compensation Act (Opferentschädigungsgesetz, OEG) and Book XIV of the Social Code (Sozialgesetzbuch XIV, SGB XIV). We examine the criteria by which statements are assessed, what role issues such as memory, suggestion, dissociation or the after-effects of trauma (Traumafolgen) play, and where problems keep arising from the perspective of people affected.
We want to bring together expert reports, scientific foundations, court decisions and experiences from proceedings and put them into context in an understandable way. We are particularly interested in how rigorously the work is done, where the limits of such assessments lie and which aspects may not be given enough consideration when complex after-effects of trauma are involved.
The aim is to pool knowledge, make differences visible and give people affected better orientation in an area that is often hard to understand and very distressing.
You can join at any time. You can take part with your own experience, specialist knowledge, research or by helping to analyse and structure materials.

Where credibility is being decided, accuracy must not be a side issue.
