Suzanne St. George's research investigates the impact of rape myths and biases within the legal system, particularly concerning child sexual abuse cases. Her work examines how these myths influence the decisions and questioning strategies of legal professionals, including prosecutors and defense attorneys. St. George has published studies analyzing the language used by attorneys when questioning child witnesses, focusing on how questions can be suggestive or imprecisely worded, potentially affecting testimony accuracy.
