Deficiency and Delinquency (Classic Reprint): An Interpretation of Mental Testing: An Interpretation of Mental Testing (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Bringing objective testing into the heart of delinquency and deficiency debates—this study presents a clear, conservative view of how mental testing relates to delinquent behavior and which results can be trusted in practical social work.
Grounded in decades of data and focused on the Binet scale, the book analyzes how many delinquents show signs of deficient intellect and how these findings can guide diagnosis and policy. It also compares the Binet results with other methods to check reliability and outlines the limits of tests when used alone. The work includes concrete data from Minneapolis and other groups, offering a careful look at how testing informs both diagnosis and intervention.
- How tested deficiency is defined and estimated without overstating the numbers
- How the Binet scale complements other assessments for a fuller picture
- Practical ideas for using test results to guide treatment and prevention
- Context on the relationship between deficiency and delinquency, supported by data
Ideal for readers of behavioral science, social work, and juvenile justice who want a measured, data‑driven view of how mental testing intersects with delinquency.

Deficiency and Delinquency: An Interpretation of Mental Testing
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the definitions of mental deficiency by introducing a systematic method to calculate the percentage of people with intellectual disability in society. This method provides a concrete threshold for diagnosing mental deficiency that can be used in practice. The author of this book has collected data from 9000 psychological evaluations of delinquents, presenting a comprehensive overview of the relationship between crime and intellectual disability. This book interprets the results of objective testing through the lens of the most important scientific studies on the topic, including the significant work of Goring. The author presents new data on groups of juvenile delinquents in Minneapolis and Pittsburgh, collected using the Binet intelligence scale. The Binet scale is a widely recognized system of evaluating intelligence, and the author of this book advocates for a conservative application of its results to help reduce the frequency of misdiagnoses. The author also introduces a new method for designating a doubtful position on the Binet scale, known as the percentage method. This method is particularly valuable near the borderline of mental deficiency, where a strict interpretation of either ratio or deviation methods can be problematic. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331893622_0
