Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Suzanne St. George's research focuses on the intersection of legal proceedings, communication, and child sexual abuse. Her work investigates how rape myths manifest in the questioning of child witnesses by defense attorneys and detectives, examining the language used and its potential impact on testimony. St. George has explored the imprecision in descriptions of body mechanics during questioning and the subtle ways attorneys may elicit information about suggestive coaching. Her publications also address the influence of race and ethnicity on police responses to sexual assault cases, considering how race-specific rape myth factors may affect these interactions. She also examines the role of parental support in children's acquiescence to polysemous implicature questions regarding coaching.

Her scholarship includes an examination of how attorneys employ child sexual abuse and rape myths when questioning alleged victims, considering developmental factors. St. George's work is supported by a citation count of 178 and an h-index of 8 across 19 publications. She has collaborated with David Tyler on two shared publications.
