    Depravity Scale Top Rated
    Currently, the terms “heinous” and “depraved” are used in courts to allow judges and juries to assign more severe sentences; yet, there is no standardized definition for these legal terms –leaving triers of fact to decide on the basis of mere emotions, which can be easily manipulated.

    To combat this arbitrariness in sentencing, Dr. Michael Welner, a forensic psychiatrist and associate professor at NYU, has designed the Depravity Scale -- an objective, evidence-based instrument that standardizes the specific intents, actions and attitudes according to public consensus.

    The Depravity Scale is undergoing validation research at a secure site (www.depravityscale.org), where participants are asked to weigh in on the extent to which 26 items are representative of depravity. The next phase, set to kick off next month, will engage the questions of item-ranking and weighting for the final instrument, which will one day be used as a guideline for juries at the sentencing phase of trials.

    MMPI Questions to ask, Answers to find Top Rated
    The MMPI is the most frequently used clinical test. Therefore, it is employed quite often in court cases to provide personality information on defendants or litigants in which psychological adjustment factors are pertinent to resolution of the case. It is easy to administer and provides an objective measure of personality. Since it is such a well-researched and highly reliable instrument, it is often used in custody evaluations. It provides clear, valid descriptions of people's problems, symptoms, and characteristics in broadly accepted clinical language. The profiles are easy to explain in court and appear to be relatively easy for people to understand. However, with any psychological instrument, it is important to acquaint yourself with the background of the test and to acquaint yourself with the assets and liabilities of any test used to assess your client.
