Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Suzanne St. George's research focuses on child sexual abuse, particularly the manifestation of rape myths in legal and investigative contexts. Her work examines how these myths influence questioning techniques used by defense attorneys when interviewing child witnesses, as detailed in publications such as "Blaming Children: How Rape Myths Manifest in Defense Attorneys’ Questions to Children Testifying About Child Sexual Abuse." St. George also investigates how detectives describe their responses to sexual assault cases and victims, assessing the overlap between rape myths and their professional focal concerns. Her scholarship includes studies on imprecision regarding body mechanics in questioning child witnesses and the role of parental support in children's acquiescence to suggestive questioning. She has also explored the intersection of rape myths with race and ethnicity in police responses to sexual assault and developmental considerations in how attorneys employ these myths. St. George has published 18 works with 162 citations and an h-index of 8, collaborating with David Tyler.
