1. Introduction It is well known that human society cannot evolve or exist in the absence of a general and a coherent structure. In this context, Police plays a central role, operating as a rule of law institution.

According to Cohen, Swederlik and Sturman (2013) the psychometric soundness of a test is evaluated through its validity, which ensures the test is measuring what it claims to and reliability, which ensures accuracy of the measure across different times and people. While the Australian Curriculum Assessment and

The WAIS-IV failed to produce an explanation for the psychometric bias that a person must get 6 raw scores of 1 before an FSIQ can be computed. Having this requirement constitutes as test bias. Test bias focuses on statistical prediction and can be thought of as measuring a different construct rather than the intended construct (Shultz, Whitney & Zickar, 2013). The issue of the reduced number of subtest for ages 70 to 90 can raise concerns for test fairness. Although test fairness is much harder

Assessing children psychologically and educationally with fairness, accuracy yet with broadness is essential. The form of assessment is varied, and the most common practices are tests, observation, interviews, viewing portfolios of work under the scrutiny of professional judgment. There are many overlapping interacting issues with the assessment of bilingual children. For example, children are assessed with their second language instead of their native language which is virtually always the predominant
