DEFENDANT QUESTIONNAIRE
The Defendant Questionnaire
(DQ) is designed for adult defendant (male and female) assessment in referral, treatment and
court-related settings.
This
test is particularly useful in violence, substance (alcohol and other drugs) abuse and criminal
cases. The DQ is also used in drug courts, probation departments, community corrections, anger
management programs, alternatives to incarceration methodologies, counseling and treatment settings.
The DQ has been standardized (normed) on over 85,000 defendants and
has demonstrated very impressive reliability, validity and accuracy. This test meets and
exceeds the professionally accepted standards appropriate for misdemeanor and felonies.
Early problem identification facilitates timely intervention and treatment. DQ information helps
in deciding upon supervision, placement and treatment alternatives.
The DQ has 162 items, takes 35 minutes to complete and has seven measures (scales):
1. Truthfulness Scale
2. Violence (Lethality) Scale
3. Antisocial Scale
4. Alcohol Scale
5. Drugs Scale
6. Substance Abuse/Dependency Scale
7. Stress Coping Abilities Scale
|
Substance Abuse/Dependency is classified in terms of DSM-IV criteria, while concurrently measuring
the severity of alcohol and drug abuse.
