SECOND EDITION

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.
