Crime Classification Manual Part I Chapter 4 26

A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES

SECOND EDITION

John E. Douglas, Ann W. Burgess, Allen G. Burgess, and Robert K. Ressler, Editors

 

Detailed descriptions of items are important guidelines to law enforcement and investigators. Those who investigate crimes have the greatest proximity to evidence that reflects on the required evidence for items such as “disrespect for the victim after the fact,” or evidence that such an item is not present.

Evidence for the depravity of the crime may be derived from numerous sources of information available to the investigator. Examples of these appear in Table 4.3.

Criminal profiling and even many forensic science methodologies do not reliably guarantee that the same conclusions will be generated by qualified professionals conducting a given examination. This lack of interrater reliability, which has limited the potential for evidence’s admissibility, is care- fully addressed in the definitions and thresholds of items of the Depravity Standard. A qualified, trained professional who adheres to the guidelines of the Depravity Standard is therefore likely to arrive at the same determination about a crime (low, medium, or high depravity) as another colleague following those same protocols (Welner, 2005).
