Best Answer

No. Moral turpitude generally refers to conduct that shocks the public conscience. Offenses such as murder, voluntary manslaughter, kidnaping, robbery, and aggravated assaults involve moral turpitude. However, simple assaults not involving dangerous weapons or evil intent do not involve moral turpitude.

Is a dwi considered moral turpitude?

No, at least in California (and confirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals), driving under the influence is not moral turpitude. Moral turpitude includes a wide range of offenses from murder and perjury to deceit, cheating, perjury, theft, and more. Driving without a license was held by the court of appeals to be moral turpitude, while driving under the influence was not. The difference is a technicality for most people but has huge consequences in immigration cases.
