'Whole Story' - Dr Patrick Tidmarsh

This was a live online interview with Dr Patrick Tidmarsh, who has been working with sexual offenders, investigations and the police for about 30 years.

 

We discuss his 'Whole Story' approach to investigating sexual offences, and why it is better for victims, for investigators, and why it gets a lot more evidence in the case than the usual approaches.

 

Also, do you know how many sexual assault allegations are false? The answer may surprise you! Read about it here: https://doi.org/10.1177/1077801210387747
