This
phase of the research was set up on the World Wide Web in order to survey the
general public randomly in a secure, confidential, and identical manner. The
Depravity Scale research, as it was known at the time, was the first systematic
academic effort to engage citizen input to shape a future sentencing instrument
for legislatures and courts.
Data
from this survey have contributed to establishing the intents, victimology,
actions, and attitudes to be included in the Depravity Standard. Data
collection at this Web site continues, for societal attitudes evolve. The
methodology enables the standard to reflect updated societal attitudes, even
many years after a valid scale began to be used as an instrument of justice.
