🧾 How the victim’s questioning works

The police may summon you either as a witness or a victim (injured party). In both cases, your statement plays a major role.

You will usually be:

• Called to a police station

• Questioned in a closed room

• Asked to describe the incident in detail

• Asked specific follow-up questions

The police might also check:

• If your story is consistent

• If you remember certain facts

• If you contradict yourself

⚠️ What to watch out for?

❌ Questions that suggest guilt (“Didn’t you provoke them first?”)
❌ Leading or suggestive wording
❌ Psychological pressure (“You’re the only one saying that”)
❌ Making you sign something you don’t understand

✅ Your rights as a victim during questioning

• You can have a legal representative (attorney) present

• You can take time to think before answering

• You can refuse to answer certain questions

• You can ask for a break

• You can check your statement before signing

If you’re a child, vulnerable person, or under stress, the police are required to adapt the process (e.g. presence of a support person, gentler approach).
