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.
