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.
