Abstract
Case data from 770 murder cases informed the development of a Depravity Standard of 25 items with detailed examples of the intent, actions, victim choice, and attitudes, distinct to what society endorses as the worst of crimes. The items draw content validity from validation studies using actual cases provided by U.S. jurisdictions.
