Crime Classification Manual Part I Chapter 4 21

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

 

In addition, the Depravity Standard items were developed in such a way as to apply with equal relevance to murder as to robbery or other crimes. “Intent to maximize damage,” for example, is as applicable to the planting of a computer virus as it is to a mass casualty terror plot. Moreover, items were worded in order to ensure the instrument would be blind to race, religion, politics, or socioeconomic status. At the same time, “intent to terrorize” works with deļ¬ned terrorism, something many societies refuse to do for fear of self-incrimination.
